CommentWhile there is less traffic now, the problem remains : several airlines and aviation organizations have repeatedly complained about Turkish military aircraft cutting through this very busy commercial 'lane'.
This being Turkey, they send not one but two aircraft (MARTI01). Apart from that there is at least one TB2 patrolling the area cutting through the traffic all day every day.
This has everything to do with the presence of the 'new' Abdulhamid Han drill-ship deployed in the area bolstering Turkey's East Med 'carbon' -- and territorial -- claims.
