Turkish Airlines (THY) and Pegasus Airlines have announced the cancellation of all flights scheduled for today and tomorrow (April 14th and 15th) to Iran, Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon due to the closure of airspace in these countries.
The move comes after authorities in the aforementioned countries restricted civilian air traffic following Iran's retaliatory strikes on Israel.
Flights already en route to the region were diverted to Istanbul for Turkish Airlines and surrounding airports in eastern Turkey for Pegasus Airlines.
Specifically, Turkish Airlines confirmed the cancellation of tonight's flights TK 872 (Istanbul-Tehran), TK 892 (Istanbul-Isfahan), TK 884 (Istanbul-Shiraz), and TK 888 (Istanbul-Mashhad). These flights were redirected back to Istanbul after altering their routes.
Similarly, Pegasus Airlines grounded all flights departing from Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport to Iran and Iraq. Affected aircraft were diverted to Erzurum, Diyarbakir, Elazig, and other eastern Turkish airports.
Passengers with reservations on canceled flights are advised to contact their respective airlines for rebooking or refund options. (ILKHA)
