Istanbul: Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport has canceled some 200 flights scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday due to a snowstorm that hit Turkey on Sunday, a Sputnik correspondent reports.

On Tuesday, the airport issued a warning saying that “due to adverse weather conditions in Türkiye and in the vicinity of our airport, there will be flight cancellations on 08.02.2023 and 09.02.2023.”
