The period established in the Aviation Services Law (Compensation and Assistance for Flight Cancellation or Change of Conditions) (Novel Coronavirus – Temporary Provision – Amendment), 2020, for refunding payment to a passenger whose flight was cancelled or whose conditions were changed due to the coronavirus crisis, was extended. This extension applies to a flight operator or organizer whose revenue turnover in the second quarter of 2020 decreased by at least 70% compared to its revenue turnover in the second quarter of 2019, and who notified the Director of the Civil Aviation Authority of this. The period for refunding payment by such a flight operator or organizer was extended to 1 October 2020 instead of 14 August 2020. Accordingly, such a flight operator or organizer must refund the payment to the passenger within 90 days from the flight's scheduled departure date or by 1 October 2020, whichever is later. It was also established that a flight operator or organizer to whom the extension applies shall publish a notice thereof on their website, and a list of such flight operators and organizers shall be published on the Civil Aviation Authority's website.
