Lift to the Airport anyone?

[tribalelder]

Taken from this weeks Land of Lights "Expatriates who are settled in our town and are not granted by work permits are are not allowed to carry out transfers at the Dalaman airport either by their private or their rented vehicles" The article goes on to refer to imprisonment and fines etc......so is picking up someone from the airport a"Transfer" or not? Needs clarification I think.

Absolutely! I think even the local Mafia, whoops Authority would find it difficult to prosecute someone for meeting and transporting there relatives to and from an international airport? They would have to prove that it was for gain (of some description) to class the act as work?

things have changed at the airport....if you are meeting people you now have to wait in the car park, not at the arrival entrance..no body is allowed in that area i understand.

found this on facebook today
Salih Tasçi, the Chairman of Tursab Fethiye. made a statement to our newspaper, warning against illegal transfers.
Salih Tasçi furnished the following information: "As you know, Law No. 1618 authorizes Travel Agencies and Union of Travel Agencies to organize tours and transfers.  Expatriates  who have settled in our town and  are not granted by work permits are not allowed to carry out transfers at the Dalaman airport either by their private or rented vehicles.
Article 29 of the law states that in the absence of an operation license from the Ministry, those involved in activities granted to Travel Agencies are subject to imprisonment from three to six months and are fined up to a total per diem of one thousand days, in addition to administrative investigation.
Therefore, tours and transfers must be organized by Travel Agencies registered  with
TURSAB. Those involved in illegal transfers will be subject to administrative investigations and penalties
