Turkish Airlines delay compensation
Turkish Airlines is not EU-based, but EU/UK departures on Turkish are covered. Inbound EU flights on Turkish generally do not trigger EU261.
Tips for Turkish Airlines claims
- Delayed Istanbul → EU flight: check if departure was EU/UK - that’s what matters for EU261.
- Long-haul Turkish routes from EU airports often hit €600 tier.
- Keep proof if you were rebooked via Star Alliance partners.
Compensation amounts
On qualifying routes, fixed compensation is typically €250 (short haul), €400 (medium), or €600 (long haul) per passenger when arrival delay is 3+ hours and extraordinary circumstances do not apply. Estimate yours with the calculator or read how to claim.
