Turkish Airlines has agreed to a settlement resolving a class action lawsuit that accused the airline of failing to refund flights canceled during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit alleged Turkish Airlines failed to refund them — or failed to provide a refund in a reasonable amount of time — for flights canceled due to the pandemic.
Turkish Airlines, founded in May 1933, operates flights to 267 domestic and international destinations, according to the company’s website.
Turkish Airlines denies any wrongdoing but has agreed to the settlement to avoid the cost and uncertainty of further litigation.
