UK261 or SHY: which rules cover your flight?
Flights from Istanbul to the UK depart from Turkey, so they are covered by the Turkish SHY-YOLCU regulation, whatever the airline. If the airline is a UK or EU carrier (for example Jet2, TUI Airways, easyJet or British Airways), UK261 also covers the flight: FlightClaimHQ then claims under UK261, and only one compensation is paid for the same disruption.
Flights from the UK to Istanbul depart from a UK airport, so they are covered by UK261, whatever the airline. SHY also applies when the airline is Turkish, but again only one compensation is paid.
Compensation is generally due when you reach your final destination 3 hours or more late (under SHY, for technical or operational reasons), or when your flight is cancelled less than 14 days before departure, unless the airline proves extraordinary circumstances.
SHY (flights from Istanbul)
- Up to 1,500 km: €250
- 1,500 to 3,500 km: €400
- Over 3,500 km: €600
UK261 (flights from the UK)
- Up to 1,500 km: £220
- 1,500 to 3,500 km: £350
- Over 3,500 km: £520
Under SHY, the amounts in euros are paid in Turkish lira, at the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye's selling rate on the day of payment.
Direct flights between Istanbul and these UK airports cover about 2,450 to 3,000 km (great-circle distance), so the 1,500 to 3,500 km band usually applies: €400 under SHY, £350 under UK261. For a journey with a connection, the distance to your final destination counts.

Delays shown here are measured at the UK airport and are indicative: what counts is your arrival time at your final destination.
