Turkish Airlines halts check-ins at Tel Aviv after Istanbul bombings

Turkish Airlines halts check-ins at Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv after 10 people are killed and dozens more wounded in twin bombings at Istanbul’s Ataturk airport.

“The only two flights from Ataturk to Tel Aviv this evening have already landed. A flight to Istanbul took off about an hour ago — and will surely land in a different airport,” Walla news quoted the Israel Airports Authority as saying. “Two Turkish Airlines flights are due to depart tonight to Istanbul, and we recommend that members of the public due to fly with the company keep updated online.”
