New Updates:
In addition, any passengers who have visited United Kingdom, Denmark and South Africa in the 10 days prior to their arrival in Turkey are required to have taken a PCR test with a negative result within 72 hours of their flight. Negative test results should be submitted at the time of check-in. Passengers arriving from these countries must also quarantine at their hotel or residence on arrival, and submit to a PCR test on the 7th day. If the PCR test results are negative, the quarantine can end. Those who test positive will receive ongoing treatment and monitoring.
International flights can be suspended, or restrictions changed at any time. Please check with your airlines for the most up to date information required for that flight.
