AirAdvisor Welcomes Spanish Consumer Law Expert Almudena Velázquez Cobos

AirAdvisor, the #1 global airline and baggage compensation company, is proud to announce that Almudena Velázquez Cobos, a distinguished Spanish lawyer and member of the Madrid Bar Association (ICAM 63.232), has joined our legal team. With over 25 years of experience in Consumer Law, Almudena brings a wealth of expertise in defending consumer rights and advancing legal protections for travelers across Europe.

Before joining AirAdvisor, Almudena led major legal teams at Reclamador, where she managed over €250 million in claims and represented more than 125,000 clients. Her work has shaped landmark legal decisions, including establishing key precedents before the Spanish Supreme Court (10 March 2020) and the Court of Justice of the European Union (16 July 2020) on floor clauses and mortgage cost distribution.

Almudena’s proven leadership and deep understanding of EU consumer law strengthen AirAdvisor’s mission to ensure fairness and transparency in air passenger compensation. Her appointment comes at a crucial time for passenger rights across Europe.

In her statement, Almudena shared:

I am deeply honored by AirAdvisor's trust. In times when airline lobbies pressure the EU to weaken passenger protections, defending air travelers’ rights is more critical than ever.

Proposed EU changes to Regulation 261/2004 raise delay thresholds and cut compensation, risking that up to 60% of eligible passengers lose their rights. We will ensure Spanish travelers obtain full protection and fight any rollback of these vital safeguards.

As a trusted leader in passenger rights and legal technology, AirAdvisor continues to expand its international legal team to meet evolving challenges in air travel compensation. Almudena’s experience and commitment to justice will play an essential role in safeguarding travelers’ rights throughout Spain and the European Union.
