Pegasus Airlines flight PC1182 from Manchester Airport to Sabiha Gokcen International Airport on Sunday, 25 October 2026 took off at 00:30 instead of 14:15, a delay of 10h 15m. That's 7h 15m past the 3-hour compensation threshold.
The dark line marks 3 hours, the point where compensation starts.
This delay was read from the Manchester departure board. Compensation depends on when the doors open at your destination, which can be slightly earlier or later. We confirm the exact arrival time when you claim.
Are passengers owed compensation?
Yes, most likely. PC1182 departed the UK, so it's covered by UK261 whichever airline operated it. The only exception is if Pegasus Airlines can prove the disruption was caused by extraordinary circumstances outside its control.
| Passengers | Compensation | You keep after 5% |

| 2 passengers | £700 | £665 |

What Pegasus Airlines might say
Airlines can refuse compensation for "extraordinary circumstances". Some reasons genuinely count, and many that airlines use don't:
Usually still owed
- Technical faults with the aircraft
- Crew shortages or sickness
- The airline's own staff striking
- Knock-on delays from an earlier flight
Can be a valid excuse
- Severe weather
- Air traffic control restrictions or strikes
- Security alerts or airport closures
- Bird strikes, if handled properly
The airline has to prove the cause. We check the reason Pegasus Airlines gives and challenge refusals that don't hold up.

£350 per passenger under UK261, based on a flight distance of about 2,729km. Every passenger on the booking can claim, including children, so a family of four could be owed £1,400.
What if Pegasus Airlines says it was extraordinary circumstances?+
Airlines often say this, but technical faults, staff shortages, crew sickness, the airline's own staff striking and knock-on delays from earlier flights do not count. The airline has to prove the cause. We check the reason given and challenge refusals that don't hold up.
How long do I have to claim?+
Up to 6 years in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and 5 years in Scotland. There's no need to rush, but claims are easier while your booking details and messages from the airline are to hand.
Do I need my boarding pass to start?+
No. Your booking reference and the names of the passengers are enough to start. If anything else is needed later, such as a boarding pass or ID, we'll ask.
