Domestic flights resumed in Turkey today and the country plans to start international ones in stages this month. Turkey has made deals with 15 countries for flights and will resume flights to a total of 40 nations this month.

Turkey, a major international transit hub, closed most of its borders in March to limit the spread of COVID-19 and halted nearly all flights in the process. The country is now in the process of reopening. Businesses are back at work and domestic travel has resumed.
