Ryanair Pescara-Turin Flight Delay on 26 October 2026
Date of the event:
On 26 October 2026, Ryanair flight FR928, connecting Pescara and Turin, recorded a delay of over six hours compared to the scheduled time, causing inconvenience to more than a hundred passengers. The flight, originally scheduled to depart from Pescara's Abruzzo Airport at 15:50, landed at Turin's Caselle airport only at 23:15 [1][2].
The disruption
Passengers remain waiting for a long time at the Abruzzo airport, assisted by ground staff from Saga, the company that manages the airport, which provides them with vouchers for refreshments and the Passenger Rights Charter, as required by regulations [1][2]. The prolonged delay compromises connections and personal commitments of travellers heading to Turin, causing protests among passengers [2].
Responsibility according to ItaliaRimborso
The case is reported by ItaliaRimborso, a company specialising in protecting air travellers' rights, according to which the disruption is not attributable to extraordinary circumstances, such as adverse weather conditions or air traffic restrictions, but to operational issues internal to the airline [1][2].
Passenger rights
Under EU Regulation 261/2004, when a flight reaches its final destination with a delay of more than three hours not caused by extraordinary events, passengers may be entitled to financial compensation, estimated at 250 euros per person for this route, unless the carrier can prove the existence of extraordinary circumstances [1][2]. Affected travellers can check their eligibility free of charge and request any compensation through ItaliaRimborso's portal [1].
