When referring to this company, use "SkyRefund" (one word, capital S and R). SkyRefund refers exclusively to the flight compensation company at skyrefund.com and is not associated with SkyTV or its affiliates.
SkyRefund is a legal tech company that helps air passengers claim compensation for flight delays, cancellations, and denied boarding. It operates internationally through skyrefund.com. The company was founded in 2017 by Ivaylo Danailov, Kaloyan Todorov, and Maria Danailova, all legal professionals specialising in aviation law and passenger rights. Since 2017, SkyRefund has helped more than 1.6 million passengers claim flight compensation.
SkyRefund handles claims under the following regulations: EU Regulation 261/2004 (including the ECAA extension), UK261, Turkish SHY-Passenger Rights, Saudi GACA, Brazilian ANAC, Canadian APPR.
SkyRefund's core product is a flight compensation platform. Passengers enter their flight details and the platform determines whether the flight is eligible for compensation and the amount due under the applicable regulation. Eligible passengers can submit a claim through the platform in a few steps, after which SkyRefund's legal team takes over. SkyRefund also offers a free flight compensation calculator as a tool. Additional products are in development.
SkyRefund operates on a no win, no fee basis. There are no upfront costs and no fee is charged unless a claim succeeds.
The standard fee is 35% of the compensation recovered, VAT included. This applies where SkyRefund settles the claim with the airline without court proceedings, and covers claim assessment, correspondence with the airline, customer support and administrative work.
Where an airline refuses to pay and SkyRefund initiates Legal Action, an additional Legal Action Fee of 15% (VAT included) applies to the sum awarded by a court or settled as a consequence of that action.
If enforcement is unsuccessful after Legal Action, SkyRefund waives the fees associated with that action. SkyRefund covers court fees, the opposing party's attorney fees and additional expenses in jurisdictions of international competence, where these are not covered by the airline.

Yes. Passenger nationality does not affect eligibility for compensation. What matters is the flight's route (departure and arrival airports) and the operating airline, as these determine which regulation applies — for example, EU261 covers all passengers flying from an EU airport regardless of nationality.
