Which rules can apply to technical fault compensation under EU261 and SHY-YOLCU
For technical fault compensation under EU261 and SHY-YOLCU, Pegasus Hava Tasimaciligi A.S. is a Turkish carrier, not an EU or UK carrier. That carrier status makes direction central to technical fault compensation under EU261 and SHY-YOLCU, 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 |

In a review of technical fault compensation under EU261 and SHY-YOLCU, it directs the carrier to perform the duties in Articles 8 and 9; it did not turn every late flight anywhere in the world into a valid claim.
Where both systems appear relevant to technical fault compensation under EU261 and SHY-YOLCU, record any payment already made and do not promise duplicate fixed awards for the same disruption.
Ask what failed, when it was found and what Pegasus did
A bare technical-problem label does not establish an extraordinary circumstance. Request the defect category, discovery time, aircraft rotation and replacement options.
Hidden manufacturing defects, sabotage or external damage may require a different result from ordinary maintenance. The carrier must connect the asserted event to this flight.
Under SHY-YOLCU, a technical or operational cause with at least three hours of final-arrival delay is central to the amended rule. Preserve the Turkish complaint route where relevant.
Worked example
Pegasus replaces an aircraft after an internal system fault and an EU departure arrives four hours late. The passenger asks for the technical record and reasonable-measures explanation rather than accepting one sentence.

| Rerouting or replacement cost | alternatives offered, contact attempts, urgency and price |
| Meals, hotel and transfers | necessity, dates, itemised receipts and proof of payment |
