Anyone got any information about what is happening - or what has been proposed to happen - to Ercan Airport? I am hearing local people talking about Ercan becoming a possession of Turkey to allow International Flights? Have also seen on Yeniduzen today Mr Akinci saying - "Akıncı said, "Are we in the mood to rejoice that Ercan will be made a domestic line and take one more step in the process of becoming a province?" but can not find any other information on this.
Not trying to spread any alarm or despondency - or hope - just interested in what is happening right now!

No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again.

Re: Ercan Airport
Thanks for that. Right now then it is just another idea and IMO not a very realistic one at that. Firstly it depends on which party wins the elections outright, not a forgone conclusion at this time I think.
Grasping at straws to get votes springs to mind in the hopes that the public can not see the bigger picture. Just interesting times once more?

Re: Ercan Airport
Think of all the cheap booze which would be carried to Turkey without customs from to Ercan to wherever on the mainland! A non-runner stupid idea!

Suspect its just the usual pre election rhetoric.

Re: Ercan Airport
Whatever else, I don't think that would happen - TRNC isn't recognised as an entity/individual state/country/whatever, so it (and Ercan) definitely won't be recognised as a province/provincial airport of Türkiye...
(Note new approved spelling... )
