To answer NEdude THY operates to many critical areas including Iraq and Somalia and to many airports at the boundary with Syria and/or PKK now very hot areas and you will fly there no doubt. Security is becoming more of real issue by the day.
Thank you for the response. Do the crews layover or is it in and out? I know a Turkish crew was kidnapped in Beirut a couple of years ago too. Do the westerners flying for Turkish essentially walk around on their layovers with targets on their back? With the recent kidnapping and beheading of the Croatian in Cairo in what was supposedly a safe area and the conflicts going on in and around many of their destinations, what has the company done to increase security?
