We have another problems about in this region, Syria conflict is not top of the list. More than 4 million refugees came to Turkey and they makes really trouble. Another problem in refugees camps and everyday thousands refugees comes into through borders.
Besides, since last week we had 49 hostiges (embassy officers and their familiy) on held by Syrian terrorist. While they taken we couldn't make any attack to Syria by their life safety. Today, we do not have much chance because, still we have "kurds" terrorist problems in here. It doens't like easy from far away.
EU countries begins support to kurdish terrosit for fighting to Syrian terrorist but in the same time kurdish terrorist are continue attacks to Turkey with politicians in Turkey council.
UAE and Qatar, they haven't got any "real enemy", honestly it's a surprise for me because they never be involved any conflict untile today but suddenly they get desicion to invlove Syrian conflict, interesting. I think they gets some "gifts/presents" maybe from USA and UK again, who knows? new planes, new army contracts, new oil rising plans for near future for getting much rich the gulf countries?...who knows.
To bombing or involving like a piece of cake for Turkish air force. It takes just only 1 or 2 hours by 4 air force bases near of Syria. There is no problem for Air Force, 2 sq are enough. But we have to think about beyond of this involving. We are on "blade". Not far away from other countries, we have a border with Syria. There are leaking to Turkey and bombing sometimes. If we involve Syria conflict it wouldn't mean "attack and turn back" operation such as UAE, Qatar, USA navy or UK planes comes from Jordan or SA, it would be real war between two countries. Along the borders of Turkey and Syrian, too many people who have family realtion and this situation is already too much uncomfortable both of politics and day life.
We have to keep calm.

I think FAA releases the warning and prohibited areas by US carries but ofcourse they all also awarn to anyother countries who has got any conflict with one of them theese countries.
Iran can be a threat for US planes but not for other countries...unless if someones attempt to pissed off "peace situation"! Syria and Iraq, especially Syria is really dangerous nowadays and interesting point, Syrian airspace is not blocked yet by Eurocontrol! ( at least I read that on newspaper in last week )
Jordanian and next Saudia airspace seems like safe but before them, Israel airpace is not calm!!! Hamas in one side and Israel in otherside.
-
What about over Romania, Black Sea, Turkey, Turkmenistan?
After Eurocontrol ceased flight over Ukranian airspace, serious amount overflight crossing over Turkey and then continue to Iran airpsace. In my opinion, except north of Russia routes, this is the safer way to keep out "warm" places. I'm not sure Syrian and Iraq airspace are safely. Besides a little bit southern side of Syria also another war places. Terrorist or rebels or who/whatever (!!!) may takes "example" of this fatal accident and may be attempt to attack another civillian planes (for claim to opposite side)which are flying over of mentioned airspaces.
By flightradar24 datas and screens, many overflight changes the routes through Turkey. I believe this is one of the best options that is using Turkey and Iranian airspace to reach safe area. And yes, some of routes bypass Ukrainan airspace by Turkey airspace and then Southern Russia,Georgia,Armenian airspaces.

I'm really sad about heard that. I read the news when I was job but I didn't have check the all news just only check out on tablet pc. Now I'm at home and reading all news.
I'm deeply sorry about your loss. My condolences to all friends, fellows and families of victims.
-
Support and gives oppotunity about self check-in kiosk are acceptable but "mandatory".....it's really weird!
-
All of them are great capture and unforgetable memories. Thanks very much for your effort to take pictures and spending time for special moments.
-
HEllo Ong, can you tell me , what kind of requirement for accreditation to get that such as awesome chance?
not kidding, I'd like to advise to our spotters in here (Turkey) for special events such as like this. -
A new commercial has been released by Turkish Airlines on Tv advertorials. It is so cute and funny besies on the other commercials.
"When dreamed..."
Summery, namely airport "Igdir" is a city where the end of North East Anatolia of Turkey, near to Armenian, Iranian border. The last point of Turkey of the east into high mountains and high altitude. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%C4%9Fd%C4%B1r_Airport). It's a small and and really far away from big cities.
Kids are looking to sky and curious where is going to planes and they are dreamed and wishing, someday one of them comes to there. But there is no airport!They said "maybe its become if we wish too much!"......you can watch the rest of
(they are yelling the plane from funny tower when they saw "to here...to here.....!!!!"and the motto of THY's end of video; "If we can't fly Igdır, there no important to fly the most cities in the world!"

It doesn't matter peacefull time or not, airforces (or any military forces) does it for. There shouldn't be choice about discuss to "is the plane is friend or foe? let we talk about ..." . Every airspace has many restricted area such as airforce training area or special protections. A plane is turned from middle of sea and flies towards somewhere. As far as I know, no plane can fly without any flight plan within a controlled airspace. If a plane flies out of filled flightplan and ATC has no contact or control, it means Air force must be check what is going on; for escort to be help or to be prevent (intercept). In peace time is not important because if there is no rules "terrorist attacks can not be on peacefull time, they always inform before to do that!!!"
As I said that, can't believe airforce radar could be missed that size plane which is flying unidentified (no mode s) and comm and out of flight route. I'm sure airforce radar personel are notd10t and they should be awarn about the plane that I want to believe. They should be ask the KL center "hey, a plane is flies towards to mainland but no response no tranponders etc, do you have any idea?" at the same time KL ATC already know that they lost the contact a plane.
(two or three years ago, an OnurAir plane has been lost the contact with Austrian ACC for 30 minutes due communication system failure, two scrambles jets came out at the moment! also we have had some of the events over Turkey a few times)
Aren't they enough for getting takes off a plane to check it out?.....even the plane while flying towards airforce base or possible to turn Putrajaya maybe?!
Otherwise, there is a meaning special event such as; a hijacked the plane, threaten explode to plane if escort planes comes while continue to negotiation etc etc......just guesses.
I think, there is a different case which is caused the hidden some of informations, no interceptions, no radar records....
-
the plane is seems like cross over "Butterworth airbase", is it right?
-
I missed some of comments but as result, I really can't believe to a plane which is flying approx 7 hours more,crossing 3 countries (includes Singapore) and no one recognize the plane who is flying "unidentified"?!?!?
I understand about ATC could not see if transponder and other electronic transmitters has been switched off but military radars are works as "echo" becouse of military defend system based on irregular threats. As far as I know, military radars maybe doesn't seems under 1000ft on ASL but in depends on radar location. Are you believe to a huge 777 flies below 1000ft? even if they flies between 1000 or 120000ft (according as some rumours or source), it must be take attentions.
I still belive something wrong about the missing story. The plane crashed on the sea, ok but story is not reliable still. If they found south of Vietnam maybe would be much reliable but current searching area and how the plane reach the point without any recognations.......it is unbelivable!
I hope someone says truth someday.
-
Which one is reliable? ADS-B data reader on internet or long range PAR and SSR radars by MODE-S of air traffic controllers? According by flightradar video, there was a serious manouver by direction and altitude. Was there any information such as like critical and serious technical issues from authorities? also, FR24 says that, "there was another aircraft and it was disappeared at the same point!" any report for second missing aircraft? or any possible "military aircraft attack"?
Also I'd like to ask you to professional aviators. Has it B777 got ACARS systems which is continiously connect and transfering data from aircraft to flight operation center.
-
any latest news? officials confirmed to crash? any survivers? all the best wishes and prayers with you for keeping them safely.

Hello Naim, I particulary read the article, it is really long
But as far as I understand, the most of subject analized correct. I don't expect to be honest or subjective comments from a foreigner who lives in Istanbul but it seems like neutral point of views. (Becouse of I believe, the person must have roots in here for getting understand somethings. Like as I never have any opinion about Malaysia social and political situation since past until today).But it is talking about correct points about the problems source and beyond. We really bored about unnecessary civilizations, shopping malls, residences etc.
-
unfortunatelly it is totally political "insist" by our PM. Istanbul is one of the most crowded cities in the world and as we Istanbul residentals hate to pumping Istanbul with new "crazy" projects. 3rd airport is not only an airport project. It comes with several residendat projects such as "new Istanbul" residental area near the airport. Sounds like good " it would be busiest airport, would be biggest one which is competition with new Dubai's Al Makhtum world airport etc...".
In fact; airport construction area and residental areas will be destroy all Istanbul's fresh breath north forest!. There is another project, 3rd bridge north of bosphorus which is connected with airport projects. So there is really serious problem about civilization in north of Istanbul. It brings approx 2 million people addition to Istanbul
Thatswhy we don't like much. On the other hand, airport construction is rise the land properties worth. At the beginnings, local villages residentals were happy about the prices rise but then they forced to move from lands! Also opposite parties and some of greens (I don't remember how can I say) doesn't like government investment like thats ( me either also, you don't know Istanbul channel projects!)

So, if QR is too bad for working regulations, why many western origin people (womans) works in QR as FA still? Don't they know what will be happens when join to QR by rumours, experiences of ex-FAs, complaints from assc. of international FA (I think there would be such as an association care about foreign FA/stewards around the world) or contract rules? Don't they know what gonna be happen as a woman (day life, accomodation, permissions etc) in an arabic country?!
According by news, like as jail daily life and strictly regulations applies to their life suddenly and without any information before!. It was a surprise when they came to Doha.
Why many FA working on behalf QR still? need job? likes Qatar? worth to earn? ...I don't think so the people insistly continue to stay in there if they are really "survive" under QR regulations and forced by management. In my opinion.
I'm not claim to "working life is the best in QR or Doha" but something maybe wrong in news, because of if it's totally true, we shouldn't see any western womans in QR and groups resigns takes the attention worund the world against to "womans rights". At least we should see on CNN on BBC special reports, they can't be missed out such as precious news
-
is it true or rumour? is there any evidence or confirmation about his issues that we can read or watch etc? (I'm not defending QR, just I want to be sure that I read)
-
We have a big problem in here about chambers of taxi drivers. They are blocking many easy transportation to/from airport. WE really don't know how they power over the city directors and government. There is a new metro system in Anatolia side of Istanbul which is connected with MARMARAY (it is crossing Bosphorus under the sea). But, unfortunatelly metro line is not extended to SAbiha Gokcen Airport insistly!!!. Nowadays there is an extention project progress but not to reach Airport still, it will be stop around a few km before airport! if it would be, you can reach to at least Sirkeci station (near of old city and tramline) with the single line it takes around 1 hrs.
MEanwhile, when finished 3rd airport in 4-5 years, believe me it would be far faaaaaaarrrrr away from city
-
As you know Malaysia Airport bhd is a partner of SAW-SAbiha Gokcen Int. Airport. Other two partners are, one of them from turkey LIMAK and another one a invesment company GMR from India. A few months ago, GMR has ben delivered their huge part of his lots to Malaysia Airport and now they are biggest shareholder over the SAW. Thatswhy, if MH does not use any connection flight to/from IST, maybe transfer to SAW in near future. SAW airport has some of expanding projects such as new parallel runway and much bigger new terminal (if its happend , new one would be 3rd terminal since airport has been built!!!).

A fresh news for this topic. Kidnapped Turkish Airlines pilots have been released yesterday night and they bring back to Istanbul with a Qatarairways business jet after 71 days. According by news, after triple diplomacy/negotiation there were three exchange; Central Syrian government release 129 womans who they have been held for along time and delivery them in Turkey borders. Womans came to Istanbul with Turkish Airlines and then continued to Qatar. 9 pilgrims also released by Syrian Rebels to Lebanon and then when exchange confirmed Turkish pilots released to Turkish Embassy officers.. There is no more information about hidden negotiations. Some of rumours of Lebanese media says that, Qatar paid 150million$ for 129 Syrian woman but not confirmed by anyone.
Turkish pilots said that, "we didn't get any bad threatment, we always safe and healthy during kidnapped session". Pilots welcomed by Turkish PM Erdogan at the airport yesterday night.
-
additional info:
there is a fresh news in Turkish version of web site; a new group has been undertake the kidnapping events which is name "visitors of imam Riza" that is never heard before in that area. The group can be release the pilots on condition that if Syria send back to 9 Lebanese shiite pilgrims who they were detained near Aleppo while turning back from Iran in last year.
Turkish goverment is working on this issue still.
-
Crew names, Capt. Murat Agca and Murat Akpinar, announced by THY, PR. Some of news thats are source from Lebanon says thats , kidnapped event is maybe connected with kidnapped Lebanese pilgrims to Syria. They were not confirmed is there any connnet with families who Lebanese kidnapped but some of them angry about Turkey goverment's slow negotiation with Syrians about releasing Lebanese Pilgrims.
So it seems like political reason. Turkish embassy is interested with event. I'll be write down when new information comes into Turkish newspapers.

If ISIS brag means "human resource", many volunteers leaking to Syria to join ISIS but they crossing the border illegal. Border line is tooo long an not secure in every meters. The people comes to Turkey from EU countries mostly (I don't know ethnic roots about arabs, syrian, kurds, christian or muslim etc, too mixed) and they enters to Turkey as regular persons. No bodies can ask them "why are you in here?". They are going to villages near to Syria border, then disappears over there. There are too much smugglers in some of villages.(drug,oil,human,items etc)
Turkey government support to forces who fights against ISIS, not to support ISIS. ISIS appeared later Syrian conflict has began. Turkey supports have been for opposing Esad forces. Today all balances has been changed! there were no any forces by Esad (who support Esad government) or opposing Esad (who fights for independence). World focused ISIS right now.
The worst, Turkey fighting Pkk terrorist group who they knows kurdish rebels by Europeans. EU parlements gets a decisin to support regional kurdish directory against to ISIS to defend Northern Iraq. Regional Kurdish Directory also support to kurdish Pkk terrorist as hidden. So, EU forcing to Turkey to make military helps to Kurdish region. It means we support to our enemy Pkk terrorist by our weapons! Kurdish and Kurdish terrorist groups are trying to "legal" by EU countries besides of Syrian Conflict.
US, UK and EU newspaper never make the news of this truth!Our position is waiting and protect to Turkey if any attack to our mainland and accept to refugees on behalf humanity. (as I said that they are rising more than 4 millions peoples, not easy to handle about camps, eating, sleeping, health and collect together in a camp and winter is coming)
As I said that, we are on knife edge. Syria,Iraq,Turkmens,Pkk terrorist,Kurds,refugees......
