‘Turkish Airlines Not Suspended By Nigerian Govt’

The General Manager of Turkish Airlines, Yunus Ozbek, has denied the news making the rounds that the airlines operations has been suspended by the Nigerian government.

Ozbek, said in a signed press statement at the weekend that “There are reports circulating in several news websites that claim Turkish Airlines operations in Nigeria are suspended or to be suspended by Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).”

He noted that: “We would like to announce that Turkish Airlines operations continue in all of the airlines destinations in Nigeria. The news reports on the subject do not reflect the reality.”

Yunus Ozbek, stressed that the reports that the airlines was suspended in Nigeria due to the airline’s perceived poor treatment of passengers, is not the true position of things.

“There is no letter to such effect by the Acting Director-General of the NCAA, Abdullahi Sidi.

“The report is just the figments of the writers imagination. If Turkish Airlines’ operations have been suspended, how come our airlines are still flying and arriving at designated airports in Nigeria.
