Corendon Airlines Delayed or Cancelled? Your Compensation Rights
Corendon Airlines flight to Turkey delayed or cancelled? This Turkish charter carrier is a common source of summer holiday disruption. Here's what you're owed.
Corendon Airlines is a Turkish leisure carrier used heavily on charter and package-holiday routes between the UK and Turkish resort destinations like Antalya, Dalaman, and Bodrum. It's a common name on summer disruption reports, but many passengers don't realise a charter flight is covered by exactly the same compensation rules as a scheduled one.
Does UK261 cover Corendon Airlines?
Yes, a flight departing a UK airport is covered by UK261 regardless of whether it's a scheduled flight or a charter booked as part of a package holiday, and regardless of the airline's nationality. A return leg departing Turkey is not covered by UK261 or EU261, since Turkey is outside both regimes and Corendon isn't a UK or EU carrier.
How much can you claim?
- £350 for flights between 1,500km and 3,500km delayed 3+ hours, the band most UK-Turkey routes fall into
This applies per passenger on the outbound UK departure. A family of four on a delayed outbound flight to Antalya could be owed £1,400 between them.
Does it matter that I booked a package holiday?
No. Whether you booked Corendon flight-only or as part of a package holiday through a tour operator, the flight itself is covered by UK261 on the outbound leg regardless. Flight compensation is separate from, and payable on top of, any refund you're owed under the Package Travel Regulations for the holiday itself.
What doesn't count as an excuse
- Routine technical faults with the aircraft
- Crew shortages during the peak summer charter season
- The aircraft arriving late from an earlier rotation, common on charter schedules operating several turnarounds a day
How far back can you claim?
Up to 6 years in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and 5 years in Scotland, for a qualifying Corendon flight departing the UK.
