A technical glitch that canceled all flights departing from Turkey’s largest city of Istanbul on Wednesday is now fixed and operations are returning gradually to normal, Turkey’s flag-carrier Turkish Airlines spokesperson Yahya Ustun said on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
He denied speculation on social media that the issue had been caused by a cyber-attack. “There is no cyber-attack situation,” he said.
Reservation changes will be made free of charge and unused tickets will be refunded without any deductions due to the technical disruption, Turkish Airlines said in a statement on its website.
“No-show penalty will not be charged to passengers who have not yet taken action even though their flight time has passed,” the statement said.
