Turkey reopened its borders to travelers

Even if direct flights haven’t resumed from all countries, air passengers of all nationalities will be allowed in as long as they meet standard Turkish immigration rules. Earlier this month, transport minister Adil Karaismailoglu said the country was in talks with 92 nations about resuming connections.

For UK passengers, the Financial Times has reported that the Turkish and British governments are considering setting up an ‘air bridge’ to allow quarantine-free travel between the two countries from July 15. Currently, anyone returning to the UK from Turkey would be subject to a 14-day isolation period.

For the moment, all new arrivals in Turkey are being examined for symptoms and asked for contact and accommodation details when they land. Anyone showing symptoms will be asked to take a test and may be quarantined if positive. Read more here.
