DIRECT FLIGHTS TO ERCAN AIRPORT

At present, all flights to Ercan must make a brief stopover in Turkey. However, the dream of direct flights to Ercan in North Cyprus moved closer when in July 2005, a flight from Baku in Azerbaijan landed at Ercan airport. Such was the importance of this flight that the Prime Minister met the passengers and crew, along with folk dancers, amazed onlookers and a raft of press photographers!

More importantly, perhaps, three members of the US Congress landed at Ercan airport the previous month, June 2005. Prior to their arrival, the airport has been scrutinised to see if it met international security standards, and clearly passed as the US delegation were happy to fly there. US President George Bush subsequently instructed his Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, to investigate the possibility of direct flights to north Cyprus from the USA. The Turkish Cypriot dream of direct flights to Ercan airport is moving ever closer, and should Turkey join the EU, will become a long-awaited reality.
