has announced closing its air space for planes landing in and leaving from the Sulaimaniyah International Airport since April 3 under the pretext of increasing activities of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

Turkey also banned on Thursday flights heading from Germany to use its air space to reach the airport.
