Turkish Airlines resumes flights to United States

Turkish Airlines resumed flights to the US on Friday after more than two months, as Turkey eases restrictions against the spread of the novel coronavirus. Two planes bound for Washington D.C. and Chicago took off from Istanbul Airport at 1800 GMT and 1805 GMT respectively. Turkey has reopened restaurants and cafes, allowed intercity flights and car travel, and lifted weekend stay-home orders this month. Turkish Airlines and Pegasus Airlines have also resumed some international flights.<br/>
