Turkey's logistics sector appeared to recover quickly after last Friday's failed coup d'etat.  And there are hopes things will get back to normal now that the US Federal Aviation Administration is withdrawing restrictions on flights to and from the country.

The FAA put the locks in place during the uncertainty and degraded security of Friday's violence.  But the decision to lift restrictions is very welcome news to the national carrier Turkish Airways, which would have been forced to cancel flights to the ten airports that it serves in the United States.

Turkish Airlines says that its flight operations had returned to normal.  The carrier's cargo division released a statement explaning that "as of the moment, all cargo operations, including cargo acceptance from all destinations, which are served by passenger aircraft and by freighters, except USA, as well as transit operations from Istanbul, are performed as normally.  We apologize for the setbacks caused and thank you for your continued cooperation."

Flights by other international airlines were also resuming this week after many flights to and from Istanbul and Ankara were cancelled over the weekend.  Shipping traffic was reportedly moving normally in and out of Turkey, and container terminal operator DP World said there was no impact on its business.  Trucking is facing some difficulties, as there are still roadblocks in space in some areas of the country.
