In accordance with civil aviation regulations, passengers are not permitted to carry disinfectants and colognes over 100 ml into the aircraft cabin. As the cabin crew provides hand sanitizer, we kindly request that passengers refrain from bringing hand sanitizer or similar liquids.

Because of additional time requirements due to enhanced safety measures, our check-in closing times are 15 minutes earlier and check-in operations will be closed 60 minutes before the scheduled departure time on domestic flights and 75 minutes before the international flights.

Boarding standards have been redefined. Passenger boarding will take place in groups, according to seat row starting from the back of the cabin, to maintain physical distance. At Istanbul Airport, boarding pass scanner devices are available, so that passengers can scan their own boarding passes.

Aircraft boarding is conducted via passenger boarding bridges whenever possible. Social distancing rules and procedures are in effect for the apron shuttles, which are used in exceptional cases.

Boardings will be carried out via passenger boarding bridges as much as possible and necessary physical distancing measures are taken in apron buses, which will be used in exceptional cases.

If the flight crew determines that a passenger exhibits symptoms of Covid-19 during the flight, the passengers sitting in the same row and in the front and rear rows are contacted by the Ministry of Health, regardless of the afflicted passenger’s test results. The quarantine process is then initiated. This policy applies only to Turkey; other countries follow the decisions of their own health authorities.

It is mandatory to wear a mask when entering the terminal. During the flight, the hygiene specialists distribute a hygiene kit that includes a mask and disinfectant wipes.

During the flight, the air inside the cabin is constantly cleaned with hospital-grade High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter (HEPA) systems. With this filtering system, the air in the cabin is renewed every three minutes with hospital-standard HEPA filter systems. This applies to all our aircraft. HEPA filters (High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter) are a filtering system that can remove 99.97% of airborne particles (up to 0.3 microns) from the air. The systems in our aircraft transfer the fresh air from the cabin ceiling to the cabin, pull it from the bottom section, and send it to the HEPA filters and outside. Thus, the air inside the cabin does not circulate horizontally between the seats.

Cabin crews’ temperatures are measured before each flight, and masks and glasses, gloves and personal protective equipment are provided, depending on the flight status, for their use during flights.

If passengers show symptoms of the virus during the flight, they and their traveling companions are moved to reserved isolation seats.

Cabin crews are provided with masks, gloves, and personal protective equipment according to flight status for use in flights. Cabin crews change their surgical masks every four hours.

There are hygiene specialists in our aircraft. The hygiene specialist cabin crews are responsible for the implementation of all hygiene and social distance measures inside the cabin and for the delivery of hygiene and health products to the passengers.

After each flight, all contact points in our aircraft including tray tables, armrests, belts, screens, controllers, overhead bins, air vents, reading lamps, side panels, windows, lavatories, partitions, magazine racks, decorative panels and cabinets are thoroughly disinfected by special teams. Our aircraft are disinfected once again by a two-stage special disinfection procedure upon their arrival at our hub, and made ready for their next flight.

In the narrow body aircraft, one cabin crew works as a hygiene specialist. In the wide body aircraft, two cabin crew work as hygiene specialists. The hygiene specialist cabin crews are responsible for the implementation of all hygiene and social distance measures inside the cabin. During the flight, the toilets are disinfected by hygiene specialists every hour or after the use of five passengers and routine cleaning checks are carried out every 30 minutes.

During the pandemic, the seats and seating arrangements on our aircraft will not change.

If an incident occurs, the cabin crews will take the necessary actions depending on the situation. For this reason, we cannot change the seats as part of the hygiene measures we take. Taking the operational conditions into consideration, a seat change request will be made if there is a need.

It has been determined that the risk of in-flight contamination is low due to factors such as the flow direction of the in-flight ventilation systems, the HEPA filters used in ventilation systems, the use of masks for all our passengers, and the backrests that form a physical barrier. The verticalness of HEPA filters prevents possible particle spread. For this reason, national and international authorities do not consider an empty seat an imperative. Also, considering operational flight costs, leaving the middle seat empty will increase ticket prices. However, depending on availability, care is taken to ensure that passengers do not sit side-by-side.

Yes, the in-flight entertainment system will be available for both domestic and international flights.

The screens and remotes are sanitized with special disinfectants and color-coded microfiber cloths.

As Turkish Airlines, our first priority is to transport our valued passengers to their loved ones and their destinations safely. Therefore, the cancellation of our flights is as upsetting for us as it is for our passengers.

All our teams work day and night in order to prevent our passengers from experiencing inconvenience.
