Turkey: U.S. Sanctions Disrupt Iran Air Links in Ankara.

Ankara, Türkiye - September 27, 2026 Turkish Airlines, AJet and Pegasus Airlines have suspended or removed scheduled flights to Iranian destinations from their booking systems through at least March 2027, following new U.S. Treasury Department sanctions targeting Iran's aviation sector, Ankara, September 27, 2026. The sanctions, which suspended authorizations for non-U.S. carriers to operate U.S.-origin or U.S.-controlled aircraft into Iran and designated 27 Iranian airlines, have raised concerns for T�rkiye's tourism industry, which received 3.2 million Iranian visitors in 2024. The disruption compounds a difficult outlook for Turkish tourism, with the government having already lowered its 2026 revenue projection to $65 billion from an initial target of $68 billion amid regional tensions.
