May 3, 2013 Union announce strike now being planned for Wednesday, May 15 on. Management state airline will still operate! If you have a booking with this airline, ask your travel agent to change it or direct to Turkish Airlines to change your flight. Last thing you want to do is get caught up in this mess.
If you have a lay over in an international airport, make sure you have a visa for that country so you can stay in a hotel instead of a cot on the floor of international arrivals over night with someone with TB or worse coughing over you.
This is a bitter old dispute, both parties are hard heads and will not flinch. Thousands of passengers will be looking for a plane seat. Confirm your seat if you are on a competing airline!
Possible flights by subsidiary airline AnadoluJet might also be effected by the strike.
Turkish Airlines flights to Russia to be hit hard. Turkish Airlines flies to 12 airports in Germany. Pegasus airlines flies several routes that Turkish airlines flies to and must be happy with windfall. Pay attention to any flight gouging. Ryanair and EasyJet may step up extra flights. Somehow I can't see Turkish State Railways adding more passenger cars.
