WASHINGTON, July 16, (APP/AFP) – The US government said
it has suspended all flights to Turkey, and banned all airlines from
flying to the United States from Turkey due to uncertainty after an
abortive coup attempt.
The Federal Aviation Administration’s order, issued late
Friday, comes as the US embassy in Ankara on Saturday instructed US government employees to avoid Istanbul’s Ataturk airport due to
reports of sporadic gunfire.
“All airlines prohibited by FAA from flying to US from
#Turkey directly or w/stopover,” the State Department’s Bureau
of Consular Affairs said on Twitter.
