ISTANBUL: Turkish airline Onur Air, suspended by four European countries leaving 40,000 passengers stranded, denied yesterday that it had defective aircraft and said it was redirecting its flights to Belgium.
'We have begun to redirect our clients to Belgium, where we have chartered buses to take them to Holland, Germany and France,' Onur Air spokesman Rauf Gerz said.
Belgian authorities yesterday gave Onur Air the green light to continue flying there. "
