Russian air carriers were detained perform flights to Turkey because of the coup attempt.

As it became known to the news agency Avia.pro, a number of Russian air carriers were forced to temporarily postpone their flights to Turkish cities due to an attempted coup d'etat that broke out in the country. The state of emergency introduced on the territory of the country created a danger for both air carriers and direct passengers, as a result of which the airlines decided to postpone the departure, and the aircraft on the way were forced to go on a return course.

According to some reports, in the territory of the Istanbul airport thundered at least one explosion, which also led to the closure of the emergency air harbor.
