Avion iranian cu pasageri, sechestrat pe Aeroportul din Istanbul

A Caspian Airlines passenger plane was detained at Istanbul Airport due to a 3 million euro debt. The aircraft was preparing for departure to Iran when Turkish legal representatives intervened based on a court order. Passengers were removed from the plane as it was seized. Caspian Airlines, established in 1993, operates both domestic and international flights, facing challenges due to U.S. sanctions affecting its operations. Despite these restrictions, the airline continues to serve international destinations. Recent U.S. sanctions have targeted Iranian airlines, but Turkey has not officially banned them, allowing Caspian Airlines to operate until the seizure.
