In addition to these, destinations in Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Kyrgyzstan, Iraq, Kenya and Uzbekistan will be added to the table later, depending on the severity of the coronavirus pandemic in those countries, he said in a statement on July 27.
Both Turkey and Russia last week announced that reciprocal flights would resume from August 1 after a four-month break caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Initially, flights will restart between three Russian airports and Turkish airports in Istanbul and Ankara, said Karaismailoğlu. The airline is also in talks with Russian authorities to fly from Kazan and Sochi as well, according to sources.
