Get your Pegasus Airlines flight compensation for the route Nicosia - Istanbul
From Ercan International Airport airport, your departure with Pegasus Airlines to Istanbul didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.
Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 736 km of flight, the company Pegasus Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.
Why are you entitled to 250 €?
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.

- Arrival airport: Istanbul (SAW)
- Flight distance: 736 km (~0h55)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
How to know if the flight Pegasus Airlines Nicosia - Istanbul is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Istanbul airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Pegasus Airlines owes you 250 €.

The impact of a strike on your Pegasus Airlines compensation
