Written Question
Aviation: Cyprus
Wednesday 24th January 2018

Asked by: Lord Ahmed (Non-affiliated - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will consider reinstating touchdown-only flights from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus to the UK.

Answered by Baroness Sugg

The UK requests that additional security measures are applied to all flights from Turkey to the UK, including to transit flights from the northern part of Cyprus. We continue to consider that this is a proportionate security measure to ensure the safety and security of the travelling public.
