Which rules can apply to refund, voucher or rerouting after a disruption
For refund, voucher or rerouting after a disruption, Pegasus Hava Tasimaciligi A.S. is a Turkish carrier, not an EU or UK carrier. That carrier status makes direction central to refund, voucher or rerouting after a disruption, ahead of website language, nationality or purchase currency.
| Flight pattern | Starting point for the legal test |
|---|---|
| EU or EEA airport to Turkiye, operated by Pegasus | EU261 can apply because the flight departs the protected territory |
| Turkiye to an EU or EEA airport, operated by Pegasus | EU261 normally does not apply merely because this is the return; examine SHY-YOLCU |
| UK airport to Turkiye, operated by Pegasus | UK261 can apply to the UK departure |
| Turkiye to the UK, operated by Pegasus | UK261 normally does not apply because Pegasus is not a UK carrier; examine Turkish rules |
| Domestic Turkiye or an international Pegasus flight to or from a Turkish airport | SHY-YOLCU can be relevant, subject to its event and procedure rules |
For refund, voucher or rerouting after a disruption, EU261 uses EUR 250, EUR 400 and EUR 600 bands after coverage, timing and cause are established.

Choose once the practical consequences are clear
A cash refund may be best when the trip has lost its purpose, while rerouting can be more valuable when the passenger still needs to reach the destination at short notice.
A voucher should disclose currency, expiry, transferability, fare differences and refundability. Screenshot the offer before accepting because the booking page can later change.
Fixed compensation and reasonable care expenses are not the same as the transport choice. State each request separately in correspondence.
Worked example
Pegasus cancels an EU departure and offers credit immediately but no prompt replacement. The passenger compares available rerouting, asks for it in writing and retains the credit screen without accepting it.
For refund, voucher or rerouting after a disruption, substitute the passenger's real airports, operators, timings and offers.
Compensation, refund, rerouting and care are separate
For refund, voucher or rerouting after a disruption, fixed compensation addresses a qualifying disruption; it is not the ticket price. For refund, voucher or rerouting after a disruption, reimbursement replaces unused transport, rerouting provides substitute travel, and care covers proportionate waiting needs.
| Remedy | Evidence that normally matters |
|---|---|
| Fixed compensation | route, operator, final timing, notice and cause |
| Ticket reimbursement | unused coupons, payment record and the passenger's election |
| Rerouting or replacement cost | alternatives offered, contact attempts, urgency and price |
| Meals, hotel and transfers | necessity, dates, itemised receipts and proof of payment |
For refund, voucher or rerouting after a disruption, a family should calculate each eligible passenger separately and claim shared expenses once. Write one line for every remedy and show how the amount was derived.
