Aircraft on Ankara-occupied route forced to land
An aircraft taking off from the Turkish capital and bound for occupied Tybos made an emergency landing at Antalya Airport due to a malfunction.
This was the flight of the Turkish airline "Pegasus" with the code "PC1885", which started its journey to the illegal airport in occupied Tymbou yesterday at 22.30.
Due to a technical problem, the aircraft interrupted the flight to the occupied territories and landed at Antalya Airport. The pilot managed to land the aircraft on the second landing attempt.
Kibris Postasi reports that the pilot headed for Antalya Airport because it is "spacious and bright".
Because of the forced landing in Antalya, passengers had to wait 7.5 hours for the new flight to take them to the occupied territories.
