You were due to travel with Pegasus Airlines from Duesseldorf to Ankara and things went wrong? Regulation CE 261/2004 guarantees a payout in most cases.

Seize this entitlement: the Pegasus Airlines flight Duesseldorf → Ankara (2 366 km) entitles you to 400€ compensation under EU regulation.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Dusseldorf International Airport (DUS)
  • Arrival airport: Esenbo?a International Airport (ESB)
  • Flight distance: 2 366 km (~2h57)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from Pegasus Airlines, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Pegasus Airlines Duesseldorf - Ankara is eligible?

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 400€: {delay exceeds 3h at Ankara|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|Pegasus Airlines is responsible for|the fault lies with} Pegasus Airlines.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Duesseldorf, the CE 261 applies equally.

The impact of a strike on your Pegasus Airlines compensation

Be wary by Pegasus Airlines's evasive wording: a "spontaneous" or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. Regardless of distance, the principle remains identical for strikes.

Key distinction: if the delay is caused by airport staff, Pegasus Airlines is released from paying the 400€ indemnity, but not its care obligation.
