Turkey
High degree of caution
26 October 2018
Istanbul’s new airport is scheduled to open on 29 October 2018. Flights will be gradually transferred from Istanbul’s existing Ataturk airport until the end of December 2018, with flights operating into/out of both airports during the transition period. Flight delays and cancellations may occur and increased traffic congestion around both airports is likely. Contact your airline or tour operator for the latest update. The level of our advice has not changed. Reconsider your need to travel to Ankara and Istanbul because of the high threat of terrorist attack. Exercise a high degree of caution in Turkey overall. Higher levels apply in some parts of Turkey.
