Diyarbakır Airport
Diyarbakır Airport (DIY) is one of the busiest airports in southeastern Anatolia. Turkish Airlines, AJet and Pegasus spread their Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir services across most of the day.
Since aircraft arriving from the western hubs fly the return leg the same day, a delay at the departure airport directly affects Diyarbakır services. Long delays and cancellations on domestic flights can create a compensation right under Turkey's SHY-YOLCU regulation.
Flights to and from Diyarbakır 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.
Compensation by distance
If your flight at DIY is delayed or cancelled
- Note the cause and length of the delay; ask the airline for a written statement.
- Keep your boarding pass, ticket and booking documents.
- Use the care the airline must provide — meals, communication and accommodation where applicable. Accepting them does not waive your compensation.
- Run a free 2-minute check with your flight details.
