Samsun Çarşamba Airport
Samsun Çarşamba Airport (SZF) is the Central Black Sea region's main airport. Alongside regular domestic services to Istanbul and Ankara, it operates seasonal flights to Europe — mainly Germany — especially in summer.
The Black Sea's changeable weather can occasionally affect operations; but delays and cancellations with technical or operational causes can still give rise to compensation. On European routes the amount can reach €400.
Flights to and from Samsun Çarşamba 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.

- 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.
