Which rules can apply to sHY-YOLCU delay compensation after the 2024 amendment
For sHY-YOLCU delay compensation after the 2024 amendment, Pegasus Hava Tasimaciligi A.S. is a Turkish carrier, not an EU or UK carrier. That carrier status makes direction central to sHY-YOLCU delay compensation after the 2024 amendment, 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 |

Use the 2024 Turkish amendment precisely
The amendment is not a general copy of every EU261 delay rule. It connects a three-hour final-arrival delay caused by technical or operational reasons to specified compensation and assistance duties.
Turkish international bands are EUR 250, EUR 400 and EUR 600, while domestic flights use EUR 100. Payment in lira is converted at the Central Bank selling rate on the payment date.
A weather or air-traffic explanation should not be silently relabelled as operational. Request the contemporaneous reason and establish the chain between that event and final arrival.
Worked example
A Pegasus-operated SAW-to-Tbilisi service arrives more than three hours late because the allocated aircraft had an internal technical issue. The Turkish amendment deserves a direct assessment even though EU261 does not govern that route.

| Ticket reimbursement | unused coupons, payment record and the passenger's election |
| Rerouting or replacement cost | alternatives offered, contact attempts, urgency and price |
