While snowfall and cold weather are effective in many regions of Turkey, air transportation is also negatively affected.

Two flights by Turkish Airlines between Istanbul-Ercan-Istanbul, which were expected to fly today, were canceled due to snow.

THY’s THY966 Istanbul-Ercan and THY967 Ercan-Istanbul flights will not be operated.

Ercan Airport, located in the northern part of Cyprus, is considered illegal by the Republic of Cyprus and the international community because it operates without recognition from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), is built on land belonging to Greek Cypriot refugees.
