Turkiye announced on Wednesday that its airspace was closed to flights to and from Sulaymaniyah airport in Iraqi Kurdistan Region amid increased PKK organization activities in the region.
Turkish airspace has been closed to the use of aircraft using Sulaymaniyah International Airport for landing and take-off as of April 3, said a statement by a spokesperson of the Turkish Foreign Ministry Tanju Bilgic.
