Three aircraft that had been flying from Turkey toward Moscow have turned back, according to a source cited in a report. The planes are expected to land at Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen International Airport instead of continuing to their original destination.
The report did not specify the airline or airlines operating the flights, nor did it give a reason for the decision to reverse course. It is not yet known how many passengers were affected or whether alternative arrangements have been made for those on board.
Diversions and route changes involving flights to and from Moscow have drawn attention in recent periods amid broader regional airspace disruptions. No official statement from Russian or Turkish aviation authorities regarding this specific incident was available at the time of the report.
Further details about the cause of the reversal, including whether it was linked to airspace restrictions, have not been confirmed.
