Title: Still stranded ... Have I missed any updates?
Post by: Menthol on June 06, 2020, 00:50:19 AM
Jav and I came here to the UK on the 2nd March to look after our business whilst our three kids went on an elaborate birthday celebration to Los Angeles for my daughter's 30th.

We've been stuck here ever since.

Very lucky to have good health and be looked after by our aforementioned children, but wondering when Turkey will start to accept direct flights from the UK.

I know many of the airlines will allow you to book but there's not much point if your flight never leaves the runway. There's a lot of conflicting information out and about and I wondered if anyone had information from an official Turkish government source as to when flights from the UK will be allowed.

I've read loads of stuff, a lot of it conflicting, so am looking for official information if there is any. Our home in Ovacik beckons.
Thanks in advance.

It looks possible that restrictions could be lifted around 15th July.

Unfortunately no news yet and the U.K. Was not on the list of countries allowed in during June. Rumours abound about flights being allowed in July, but until an official announcement is made, not much point speculating. There is a meeting on Monday to discuss the curfew on under 18s and over 65s, so if anything is discussed about flights, perhaps announcement mad moday evening.
