Does EU261 apply to Turkish Airlines?
Turkish Airlines is registered in Turkey — not an EU member state — so EU261/2004 applies only when your flight departed from an EU/EEA airport. For example: Amsterdam → Istanbul (covered), Istanbul → Amsterdam (not covered). If your outbound flight was from within the EU, you have a valid claim regardless of the airline's nationality.
How long do I have to claim from Turkish Airlines?
You have up to 3 years from the date of your flight to submit a claim in most EU countries. Because Turkish Airlines is non-EU, claims sometimes require escalation to the relevant national enforcement body (e.g. CAA in the UK, Luftfahrt-Bundesamt in Germany). Don't wait — act quickly.
