The validity of tickets can be extended until March 31 without any fees or penalties.
The Turkish airline Turkish Airlines allowed passengers to return or change tickets for flights to the cities of Ukraine, which were purchased before February 13. All this is due to the situation that has developed in Ukraine due to a possible Russian invasion.
The statement was published on the company's website on Sunday, February 13.
“Due to the current situation in Ukraine, passengers who purchased tickets before February 13, 2022, as well as for Turkish Airlines flights arriving in Ukraine ( Kyiv, Odessa, Lviv, Kharkiv, Zaporozhye and Nikolaev ) from February 2022 to February 28 February , received additional rights to change and refund,” the air carrier said in a statement.
It is noted that you can exchange a ticket for free, provided that the new flight is operated on the same route and in the same cabin. In this case, the replacement date must be no later than March 31 of this year. In addition, the validity of tickets can be extended until March 31st without any fees or penalties . The company also allowed the route to be changed. It is made according to the fare rules of the original ticket.
Recall that during an urgent meeting, the Cabinet of Ministers decided to allocate UAH 16.6 billion to guarantee the uninterrupted flights in the airspace of Ukraine.
Before that, the Ministry of Infrastructure denied the information about the closure of airspace over Ukraine, as reported by a number of media outlets. “The information about the closure of Ukrainian airspace is not true. The closure of airspace is the sovereign right of Ukraine, no decision has been made,” the statement says.
