Turkish Airlines (THY) has grounded multiple flights to Greece scheduled for Wednesday, April 9, in response to a nationwide general strike set to disrupt services across the country.
The airline announced the cancellations on social media, with THY Press Advisor Yahya Üstün confirming that routes between Istanbul and both Athens and Thessaloniki will be affected.
The canceled flights include Istanbul-Athens and Athens-Istanbul services—TK1841, TK1842, TK1843, TK1844, TK1845, TK1846, TK1849, and TK1850—as well as Istanbul-Thessaloniki and Thessaloniki-Istanbul flights TK1881, TK1882, TK1893, and TK1894. Üstün urged passengers to check the airline’s website or mobile app to adjust their travel plans and explore alternative options.
The decision comes as Greece braces for a general strike expected to halt transportation, public services, and other operations. Turkish Airlines expressed gratitude for passengers’ patience as it navigates the disruption, promising updates as the situation evolves. Affected travelers are encouraged to stay informed through official THY channels. (ILKHA)
