Pegasus Airlines Flight Compensation Claims
Let's say that you find yourself in the following scenario: you've purchased tickets for a Pegasus Airlines flight but when you get to the airport you discovered that it's either delayed or cancelled. What should you do in such a case? Can you be compensated for your inconvenience?
The answer is: it depends. Since Pegasus Airlines is a Turkish low-cost operator, only disrupted flights that originate for EU or UK can be the subject of compensation. This is possible thanks to the air passenger rights conferred by the EU Regulation 261 and it's UK counterpart.
Thus, as a passenger travelling with Pegasus Airlines from EU or UK, you may be entitled to compensation if the following have occurred:
- Flight delay: If your flight arrived 3+ hours late at your final destination.
- Cancelled Flight: if Pegasus Airlines cancelled your flight and informed you less than 14 days before departure.
- Overbooking: If you have been denied boarding due to an overbooked flight.
- Missed connecting flight: If you missed a connecting flight due to a delay in one of the legs and you arrived at your destination 3+ hours late.
What Are My Passenger Rights in Case My Pegasus Airlines Flight Was Cancelled or Delayed?
According to EU law and UK air passenger rights law your rights include:
- up to €600 (£520)compensation which is not reliant on ticket price
- Includes disrupted Pegasus Airlines flights up to 3 years old
- Covers flights that were delayed at least 3 hours, cancelled, or overbooked
How Do I Claim Pegasus Delay Compensation?
According to EC 261, if your flight arrives later than 3 hours at your final destination, you may be eligible to file a Pegasus Airlines delayed flight compensation claim form to receive up to €600 (£520) as a flight refund. To find out how much, you can use our free flight delay compensation calculator.
Exclusions: Pegasus Airlines delayed flight compensation will not be enforceable in case of extraordinary circumstances, or force majeure. If the flight departure time is delayed because of bad weather or any airport related disruption, that is considered an extraordinary circumstance. Technical problems, airline staff strike, or operational problems are not valid reasons for rejected compensation claims.
Tip: accepting vouchers or signing release paperwork will result in losing the right to compensation.

How do I Get Compensation for Cancelled Pegasus Airlines Flight?
In case of a cancelled flight you have the same right to compensation. Besides this, you can also ask for a refund or your full ticker price if you do not wish to fly anymore. We've explained all your cancelled flight compensation rights on our dedicated guide page.
Pegasus Airlines Flight Refund Policy
A flight compensation and a refund are two different things. Regulations allow you to receive both: a cancellation refund and compensation.
In case of a cancellation, an airline will try to re-book you on the similar flight, but if that becomes impossible, a cancellation refund will be a full cash refund. Generally, your claim would succeed, providing there were no extraordinary circumstances beyond airline control.
If Pegasus Airlines cancels your flight to extraordinary circumstances (such as Covid travel restrictions or a serious illness) and you were offered no replacement flight, you can obtain a ticket refund in full, since your flights booked were not available.
Types of ticket refunds: A full refund must be in cash or credit. Vouchers are allowed only if you specifically agree to it. We do not recommend accepting vouchers due to short expiry dates and potential restrictions on redemption.
Note: If Pegasus Airlines offers a replacement flight with approximately the same arrival time and you decide not to take it, there is a possibility of you losing the right to get both compensation and a ticket refund.
Rule of thumb: you can generally reject alternative flights and receive a refund in full, if a new replacement flight arrives 3+ hours later from your initial scheduled arrival time.

Pegasus Airlines Flight Cancellations: When are they Liable?
When Pegasus Airlines can escape liability: Pegasus Airlines claims if a flight was cancelled due to events outside of its control; for example bad weather, or issues at the airport. Such events are typically called extraordinary circumstances and in such cases, you are not entitled to a Pegasus Airlines missed flight refund.
All airlines will generally try to book you on the next available flight at no additional charge, in the case of cancelled flights. You may agree to the proposed flight or request another replacement flight, or demand reimbursement if you are not happy with any of the options proposed.
Note: If your rebooked scheduled departure arrives at a similar time to your original departure time, you're not entitled compensation. The law is fair and allows airlines not to pay compensation if you can reach your destination with minimum inconvenience. In most cases, passengers who have a cancelled flight will have valid claims for a Pegasus Airlines flight compensation.
An airport employees’ strike is beyond anyone's control. Learn more about cancellation compensation.
When Pegasus Airlines cannot escape liability: When Pegasus Airlines cancel flights, EU 261 Regulation on air passenger rights are clear: You must be put on an alternative flight or provided with a full flight refund.
Also, if you were notified about the flight cancellation less than 14 days before your date of departure, you may be able to receive up to €600 (£520) per person in compensation. Additionally, you may receive Pegasus Airlines flight delay compensation if you arrived 3+ hours later than the scheduled arrival time of your initial flight.
