Direct Flights to TRNC from UK and Sweeden

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Do you mean Dolmush?
As far as I know these are some kind of buses in Bulgaria that are so crowded that peoples heads, hands, and legs spout out of the windows.
Is this how these planes are? :wink:

yes i mean DolmuS, i dont have turkish characters to type it correctly.

i was refering to another aspect of Dolmus, the way they dont stop at certain places along the route if no one is getting off there, kind of like the so called "direct" flights that dont bother stopping in Turkey....Dolmus is a Turkish word meaning "its already full" probably because they do usually look like the ones you saw in Bulgaria, however now with all this EU heat wave, even they have started to be regulated in Istanbul, ofcourse along with many other things, which sucks really! : /

Thanks shahmaran.

@Zan,

I think it was VP who started it, and then I shortened his to Viewy. :lol:

Anyway no problem for me, but the correct shortening is Pyr which means fire.

There is a big difference, between a "Direct" flight and a "Non-Stop" flight. Sure you can have a "Direct "flight from the UK with Turkish Airlines, as long as then land in Turkey somewhere, but they can not have a "Non-Stop" flights.

Although, Viewpoint in the past, not too long ago, claimed to have flown "Non- Stop" from UK to Ercan by Turkish Airlines.

It's possible the pilots fell asleep, and just flew-by Istanbul in a B-Line to Ercan. Stranger things have happened. :!:

As far as I know what VP has said happened because they were testing the water to see if just flying over Turkey was enough. I don't know what happened but they no longer do it so that must say something. You guys need to stop doubting everything that VP says. I have seen nothing that points to him being a liar.

The deciding factor is if their are no passengers getting off at Turkey the plane comes direct to the Ercan TRNC without touching down in Turkey.

I wasn't implying that VP was not telling the truth, more like what explanation Turkey would have given to authorities that regulate air travel within Europe.
