Turkey has extended its flight ban on Sulaimaniyah International Airport in Iraqi Kurdistan for another six months. The ban, initially imposed in April for three months, was extended due to alleged support for the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which Turkey considers a terrorist group. The move is expected to further isolate the region and negatively impact its economy. The airport is controlled by the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), which has close ties to the PKK, while the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), which is allied with Turkey, supports the ban.
