(Anatolia New Agency) The Head of the Turkish company, "Ivan Air", said on Saturday that the company located in the north of Iraq will start next April two weekly flights between Erbil and tourist resorts in the Turkish Mediterranean coast. Seamus ضzcan told the Anatolian News Agency that "Iraqis are showing an increasing interest in tourist sites in the southern Turkish coast". There will be special "charter" flights directly between Erbil and the Turkish resort of Antalya, which annually attracts thousands of tourists. ضzcan explained that the first flight is scheduled for April 25. He added that if the project succeeds, the company will increase the rate of flights and introduce new flights to Istanbul. Another Turkish company called "Fly Air" has been making direct flights since December 2005 between Istanbul and northern Iraq.
