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.

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)
