Kazakhstan airlines plans to suspend flights to Turkey

At the meeting of the interdepartmental commission, proposals were made to reduce the number of flights with Turkey due to the difficult epidemiological situation, the Central Communications Service of Kazakhstan said.

- Indeed, the epidemiological situation in Turkey is developing quite difficult. More than 50 thousand cases are registered every day. This is 5.5 times more than ours, if we take daily indicators. Therefore, today at the meeting of the IAC, proposals were made to reduce the number of flights with Turkey. Today, these proposals are being considered, - said Aizhan Esmagambetova, chairman of the sanitary and epidemiological control committee of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Now the rise in the number of new infections in the country is exacerbated by the fact that three new mutations of the coronavirus are circulating in Turkey.
Recently, Russia made the decision to terminate air traffic with Turkey  from April 15 to June 1.
