"THERE have been no direct flights into Ercan [Tymbou] Airport on the north, it emerged yesterday - despite rumours in the press that some pilots had simply changed flight codes in midair and had flown to north Cyprus without landing first in Turkey."

However from this message board contradicting information :

"We met a couple out there over Easter who had been on a flight that, once in Turkish airspace, and not having any passengers to get on or off, decided to carry on through. They said it decreased the journey time by around 2 hours. Have heard of it happening a few times now, unfortunately, never to one of our flights but we can live in hope."

and
"Sunday afternoon 20th March CTA had two flights going, 3 hours into flight captain informed us we wre going direct, landed 40 mins later."

interesting?
