Due to heavy rainfall on Tuesday, April 9, in Northern Cyprus, two flights could not land at Ercan Airport. There are problems with landing and takeoff of airplanes at the airfield.

According to information from the flightradar24 portal, due to poor weather conditions at the new TRNC airport, flights VF555 from Ankara by AJet and PC711 from Adana by Pegasus Airlines could not land. Both planes were redirected to Adana Airport. Also, another flight from Adana (AJet) landed with a delay.
