Major Turkish Airlines Suspend Flights to Iran Through Early 2027
Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, and AJet have suspended all flight operations to Iran. The cancellations are currently scheduled to remain in effect until at least March 2027.
Three major Turkish carriers—Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, and AJet—have removed flights to Iran from their booking systems. According to current scheduling data, Turkish Airlines and AJet have suspended all routes to the country until March 2027. Pegasus Airlines has similarly removed Iran-bound flights from its platform, effectively halting service.
The suspensions follow a period of heightened regional tension and the ongoing application of international sanctions. While the airlines have not issued detailed public statements explaining the specific operational or legal triggers for these long-term cancellations, the move represents a significant reduction in air connectivity between Turkey and Iran. The duration of the suspension, extending well into next year, suggests that the carriers are preparing for a long-term disruption in their flight schedules to the region. Travelers who had existing bookings are advised to check their status directly with the respective airlines, as these changes impact both business and personal travel routes that rely on these Turkish hubs for international transit.
