Flights resume at Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen Airport

ISTANBUL

Regular flight operations resumed on Wednesday at Sabiha Gokcen Airport in the Turkish metropolis Istanbul after a hours-long suspension a day earlier.

Flights began as of early Wednesday as scheduled, at 6 a.m. local time (0300GMT).

At 6.30 a.m. local time (0330GMT), a plane from Dalaman Airport in Turkey’s western Mugla province landed at Sabiha Gokcen.

Tuesday’s suspension came after a Pegasus Airlines plane skidded off the runway due to bad weather, but all 164 passengers on board were safely evacuated without injury.
