Adana Çukurova Airport (COV) Flight Compensation

Çukurova International Airport (COV) took over the traffic of the former Adana Şakirpaşa Airport and serves the Adana, Mersin and Osmaniye region. Alongside frequent domestic flights to Istanbul and Ankara, it has regional international routes to Europe and the Middle East.

As the region's main airport its traffic is growing fast; on the busy Istanbul route, delays mostly occur as knock-on rotations. Being a new airport changes nothing about your passenger rights — the same rules apply here.

Flights to and from Adana Çukurova Airport are covered by Turkey's SHY-YOLCU regulation, and EU261 can also apply on Europe-linked services. On eligible flights, compensation ranges from €250 to €600 by distance and can be claimed up to 3 years back.
