Cyprus Turkish Airline staff today went to court to stop the deal with Atlas.

If daveG is right in an earlier topic that Cyprus Turkish have 5 planes and 670 staff, it's not surprising they are trying to stop the Atlas deal - they can possibly see at best a future career where they might have to do some work

would be interesting to hear what happens to the poor people due to fly tomorrow from Gatwick and from Manchester on Saturday.....??

Looks as though the news is GOOD! Several domestic flights from Ercan are scheduled today and the LGW flight to Dalaman is showing as scheduled for 11.00 am on the Gatwick website

cheers Brian the uk foreign office are reporting that a deal has been done.

The Gatwick flight may be showing as scheduled but it was due to leave Ercan in Northern Cyprus for Dalaman at 5.30am this morning before it's onward flight to Gatwick but is still there. The website just says that it is either delayed or cancelled. According to the Ercan airport website no KTHY flights have departed since Tues!!

Sorry if I jumped the gun there..... Still showing as on sked at LGW two hours before take off.....looks like they have jumped as well

My Mum & Dad are coming today and were meant to be on this flight. They booked new flights with Thomas Cook earlier this week when they heard about this and are boarding now!! She's been trying to reach the KTHY offices for the last 2 days but they're not answering (if there's anyone still there). Hopefully they'll get their money back.

The Gatwick website is now saying 'Call airline'. A bit late for all those people who turned up for the flight!!

Dear All
With reference to the Turkish Civil Aviation General Directorate's letter of 21 June 2010  all Kibris Turkish Airlines flights are suspended until further notice.
As of today we are working hard towards finding a solution to relieve the inconvenience caused to passengers who are planning to fly in the near future.

In view of this respect we are makings attempts to facilitate the carriage of passengers with other airlines that operate to Cyprus.
We recommend to our passengers, agents and other organisations to follow the latest information on our website (www.kthy.net),  through our call center (0216 444 5849) and the local press.
We believe that we will be out of this negative situation in a short period of time and request that there will be no doubt that operations will be allowed to continue to serve our people, passengers and tourists in a safe environment which we have done for over 36 years

Yours truly,
General Management KTHY
