EgyptAir has cancelled its two scheduled flights to Istanbul's Atatürk Airport on Saturday, following a foiled coup in the country. On Friday night, Turkish troops announced that they had seized power in the country, but by morning loyalist forces had crushed the bid after crowds took to the streets to support Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. EgyptAir said the cancellation of flights was due to “the latest events witnessed in Turkey on Friday night and the unrest that followed in Istanbul's Atatürk Airport.” The MS737 and MS735 flights were scheduled to take off at 9:50am and 2:20pm Cairo local time. There were no scheduled EgyptAir return flights from Istanbul on Saturday, the statement added. The company is monitoring the situation closely in Turkey, and will announce any developments once available, the statement added. EgyptAir has 14 flights to Istanbul per week. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/233348.aspx
