You travelled with Pegasus Airlines from Duesseldorf to Istanbul and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.
Don't miss this opportunity: the Pegasus Airlines flight Duesseldorf - Istanbul (2 074 km) qualifies you for 400€ per person under CE 261/2004.
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.

- Departure airport: Dusseldorf International Airport (DUS)
- Arrival airport: Istanbul (SAW)
- Flight distance: 2 074 km (~2h36)
- Applicable compensation: 400 €
This is not a goodwill gesture from Pegasus Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.
How to know if the flight Pegasus Airlines Duesseldorf - Istanbul is eligible?
Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Pegasus Airlines offers you a travel credit for your Duesseldorf → Istanbul flight, you can also demand the monetary compensation of 400€ provided by law.
In the case of a cancellation, if you were notified less than 14 days before your departure from Duesseldorf, the regulation applies in the same way.

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.
A strike by air traffic control at Dusseldorf International Airport or Eurocontrol is an independent circumstance over which Pegasus Airlines cannot act.
What are your rights at Duesseldorf airport in case of prolonged wait?

Even in force majeure cases, the right to assistance at Duesseldorf still applies. The hotel must be provided if Pegasus Airlines delays your flight overnight.
