More than 200 flights have been cancelled at Istanbul's two airports because of expected snowfall, Turkey's top airlines said. Turkey's national flag carrier, Turkish Airlines, said that it had cancelled 185 flights at Istanbul airport on Thursday, 114 of them domestic and 71 international.
The airline cancelled another 20 domestic flights of AnadoluJet, its subsidiary budget carrier, at the smaller Sabiha Gokcen airport.
Turkish Airlines warned in a statement 'the number of cancellations is likely to increase' because of the weather conditions. Another company, Pegasus, said around 30 domestic flights expected to depart and arrive at Sabiha Gokcen airport on Thursday were now cancelled. - AFP
