SunExpress Flight Cancellation Compensation

Regardless of whether you're at home or abroad when you find out about your SunExpress flight cancellation, you're going to have a lot of questions and concerns. The first thing to know is that SunExpress should find you a new flight, or offer you a full refund.

But because flight cancellations almost always play havoc with your travel plans, you should check whether you're also entitled to claim SunExpress cancelled flight compensation to help make up for the disruption.

Under UK and EU regulations, SunExpress should pay passengers up to €600 per person when they cancel flights at late notice — that is, any flight cancellation less than 14 days before it was due to depart.

Exceptions:
SunExpress will not have to pay compensation if they were able to offer a replacement flight with similar departure and arrival times to the original. You can check the exact requirements on our flight cancellation compensation page.

Airlines also don't have to pay compensation if extraordinary circumstances were at play. That means that if an unusual situation occurred that was outside of the airline's control but forced a cancellation, there's no SunExpress flight cancellation compensation owed. Typical examples include bad weather or a strike by air traffic control.

How many flights were delayed today?

• Our latest data shows that over a 24-hour period, 4 SunExpress flights were delayed 3 hours or more.

• Of 343 flights, 0.58% were delayed over 3 hours. That rate was 0.31% for international flights.

• Passengers who arrive at their destination over 3 hours late could be owed compensation. Check your flight.

SunExpress Flight Delay Compensation

Whenever you're kept waiting by SunExpress flight delays, it's worth checking whether you're entitled to compensation for your time. If SunExpress is responsible for the delay, both UK and EU regulations say that passengers are owed up to €600 per person when they're delayed by 3 hours or more.

When you're claiming flight delay compensation, SunExpress will check what time the flight arrived at the final destination. That's because for flight delay claims it is the time that you arrived that is important, not the time of departure. AirHelp owns one of the most comprehensive databases of flight stats available, so we can always back up SunExpress flight delay compensation claims with the exact delay time.

Exceptions:
Airlines like SunExpress do not have to pay out compensation if there's some external reason for the delay. That means delays caused by bad weather, an incident at the airport, or air traffic control strikes are not eligible for compensation. These kind of situations are called extraordinary circumstances.

Europe's air passenger rights, EC 261, are among the most comprehensive in the world. They are designed to ensure airlines like Sunexpress take appropriate care of their passengers and compensate passengers fairly when their journeys are disrupted by flight delays, cancellations, or overbookings.

All passengers on a flight departing from a European airport are covered by EC 261. However, as Sunexpress is not a European airline, they do not need to pay EC 261 compensation when they are flying outside of Europe, or even on flights to Europe if the departure airport is outside the EU.
