Şanlıurfa GAP Airport
Şanlıurfa GAP Airport (GNY) serves the heart of the Southeastern Anatolia Project region; visitor traffic has grown since Göbeklitepe joined the World Heritage list. It has regular domestic services to Istanbul and Ankara.
Since aircraft from the western hubs fly the return leg the same day, delays are mostly knock-on. Long delays and cancellations on domestic flights can create a compensation right under the SHY-YOLCU regulation.
Flights to and from Şanlıurfa GAP 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.
