Common rejections
Reasons Turkish Airlines may give — and why they often fail
These are the responses we see most often. None of them automatically ends a claim.
- A technical fault: routine maintenance issues are the airline's responsibility, not an extraordinary circumstance.
- Bad weather: only valid if conditions genuinely made your specific flight unsafe, which we verify against meteorological records.
- Knock-on delay from an earlier flight: aircraft rotation is a scheduling choice the airline made.
- A strike by the airline's own crew: internal industrial action does not exempt the carrier from paying.
- You already accepted a voucher or rebooking: accepting care does not waive your right to compensation.
