Following Iberia Airlines, Delta Air Lines also announced suspension of New York – Istanbul flights.
Delta said, “Due to increased security concerns in Turkey, including a travel warning issued by the State Department, and weaker demand for air travel to this market, Delta has taken the decision to suspend its New York-JFK-Istanbul service due to start in May 2016. Customers can go to www.delta.com for more information on re-accommodations.”
Delta was the only U.S. airline operating between North America and Turkey and was offerring more than 4,100 weekly seats between Istanbul and New York.
