Starting on April 15, Turkish flag carrier Turkish Airlines has suspended flights service to Russia, mirroring a decision by Moscow.
The restriction on flights to Russia will remain in force until June 1, 2021, Hurriyet reported.
The only exception to the suspension is twice-weekly service from Istanbul to Moscow and then back, said the carrier on Wednesday.
Earlier this week Russia decided to suspend Turkey-Russia flights – with limited exceptions – for the same period as part of COVID-19 measures.
