Russia’s flagship carrier Aeroflot has suspended selling airline tickets to Istanbul and the southern resort of Antalya due to the Russian aviation agency Rosaviatsiya’s ban on flights to Turkey, TASS has reported.“Selling tickets will resume after the regulating authority - Rosaviatsiya - lifts the ban,” Aeroflot said on July 20, as quoted by the Russian news agency.
Tickets for flights from Turkey would be sold in the regular mode, the company added.
Aeroflot also said that regular daily flights to Istanbul will start on July 26.
Flight SU2136 will depart from Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport in the morning and arrive at Atatürk Airport in Istanbul in the early afternoon, local time.
The return Flight SU2137 will depart from Istanbul at 2:55pm and arrive in Moscow at 6:25pm.
