Makes the country more in line with the EU flight delay rules and the United Kingdom

Türkiye is launching a new system for delayed flight compensation with travelers capable of making claims for up to € 600 (just under £ 500) depending on the flight distance.

The new rules will be applied to the airlines based in Türkiye when they leave Türkiye. Bring the Festive day Destination in line with the EU flight compensation rules and the United Kingdom, which only apply to the headquarters in Türkiye.

Türkiye is a growing holiday destination among the British, but it is also an important travel center with international tourists, and many travelers use their airport to connect with destinations in Africa and Asia.

According to the new system, airlines operating in Türkiye must provide financial compensation for flight interruptions due to technical or operational reasons.

The key provisions include € 100 for delayed national flights in more than three hours; € 250, € 400 or € 600 for international flights, depending on the flight distance.

Ivaylo Danailov, co -founder of airline compensation specialists, Sky Reim, says: “Previously, the regulation of the EU261 was only applied to the airlines based in Turkey for flights that leave the EU airports, which means that the passengers could only claim compensation for significant interruptions when leaving The EUBut not when returning from Türkiye.

According to the new rules, the airline passengers also have the right to compensation in cases of delays in the flight. In that sense, the Turkish regulation Now it reflects more closely the European/United Kingdom one/United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom’s flight compensation law, which is very similar to the EU version, applies to any person on a flight that is:

• Leaving a United Kingdom airport on any airline, or
• arriving at a United Kingdom airport in an EU or the United Kingdom airline; either
• Arriving at an EU airport in an airline in the United Kingdom.

If your flight is delayed, the airline must provide:

• A reasonable amount of food and drink (often provided in the form of coupons)
• A means for you to communicate (often reimbursement the cost of your calls)
• Accommodation, if it turns en route the next day (usually in a nearby hotel)
• Transport to and from accommodation (or your home, if you can return there)

It can be difficult for airlines to organize attention and assistance for all passengers, especially when the staff stretches due to large interruptions. The civil aviation authority urges passengers to maintain all receipts and spend more than reasonable to ensure that they can claim it back.

According to the United Kingdom Law, airlines may have to provide compensation if their flight reaches their destination more than three hours later. But it depends on what causes the delay, if it is not the fault of the airline, then you should not expect to receive any compensation. This can be up to £ 520 depending on the duration of your flight.
