Petition Action

End the new flight restrictions on passengers travelling from Northern Cyprus

Petition Details

In light of recent security policies in the USA, the UK has followed suit by insisting that passengers in transit from Ercan airport to Stansted (or U.K.) undertake extensive additional security checks at Istanbul airport.

Additional Information

Many passengers have been flying to London via a touch-down in Turkey for over 40 years without incident. Therefore This is perceived as a political decision. It has nothing to do with security. Ercan is one of the safest airports in the world.

This situation impacts the elderly and disabled, driving passengers south to Larnaca or Paphos airports.

We urge the UK government to reverse this policy immediately.
