Flight compensation Pegasus Airlines:

Claim and compensation for flight Pegasus Airlines Bologna - Istanbul

Your claim for compensation for the Pegasus Airlines flight from Bologna to Istanbul deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Bologna / Borgo Panigale Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 523 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.
