"Turkish Charter Companies Expect Support From State
ANTALYA - ''Turkish charter companies expect support from the state,'' Huseyin Baraner, the Chairman of Turkey-Europe Tourism Business Council said on Tuesday.

Speaking to A.A correspondent, Baraner said that the charter flight companies based in Europe started to direct the seats allocated to Turkey to other countries for 2006.

''European charter companies have allocated their 500,000 seat-capacity--which were earlier booked for Turkey-- to Mallorca (Spain) for this year,'' said Baraner, adding that those charter companies were also trying to persuade travel agencies to direct tourists to Mallarco instead of Turkey."
