Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) Flight Compensation

Located in Pendik, Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) is the main base of Pegasus Airlines and a busy hub for AJet and many other carriers. A large share of Turkey's low-cost flight traffic passes through here.

Because of high frequency and dense slot usage, knock-on delays are common especially in the evening: delays accumulated during the day ripple into later rotations. Cancellations and flight consolidations also happen from time to time.

Flights departing Sabiha Gökçen Airport are covered by Turkey's SHY-YOLCU regulation, and EU261 can apply on Europe-linked itineraries. For connecting journeys under a single booking, the assessment is based on the total delay at the final destination, and compensation can reach €600.
