The airline will be based at Antalya Airport.
Turkey has decided not to refuse tourists from Russia , and give them the opportunity to visit resorts even in the event of arrests of Russian aircraft abroad. At the same time, options are being worked out to finance a project to create a new airline. It will be engaged exclusively in the transportation of Russian tourists to Turkish resorts. The Sabah newspaper writes about it.
It is noted that the airline will be based at the Antalya airport.
So far, the “road map” includes three points. First, loans under government guarantees to support several large host companies. We are talking about those who lost Russian tourists due to air sanctions.
Secondly, the creation of a new airline, which will attract aircraft without the risk of secondary sanctions, as well as insurance risks. In this case, the liners of other airlines may already be involved. They will be temporarily transferred to a new carrier.
The third clause provides for the allocation of 1.5 million seats on Turkish Airlines flights for “package” tourists. This measure is already being implemented.
