Britain Suspends Turkmenistan Airlines Affecting India Travellers
With weekly flights from Amritsar and New Delhi to Birmingham and Heathrow, the decision to cancel operations of Turkmenistan's carrier could see thousands of passengers left to seek new routes to and from Britain to India.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) announced on Monday that it would no longer uphold the permission for Turkmenistan Airline to continue their route over concerns related to international air safety standards.
UK Foreign Office confirmed in a note that Turkmenistan Airline was banned from flying to and from the EU pending the decision over the safety standards.
