UKTurk,



How does this work exactly, as the same petition was submitted (closed Apr 07). Are they likely to open a new request, add the new names to the current application or just reject it on the grounds an existing appeal is in progress? I think the latter myself.....



For details just search the peitions page for "Cyprus and flights" click on the "closed" Tab.

Hi Ukturk,



I signed the petition last year and agin now, my only concern is a report from the UK government stating that they could see no problem with direct flights commencing, if the T.R.N.C government actually submit an application stating which airport they would register as the North Cyprus International Airport.



Its all good, the people supporting the petition, but if the government can't do their part it will be a waste of time and energy.



Best regards

hi charlie

so you plucked up the courage to post then!!!! l.o.l

n cyprus with the u.k want ercan to be registered as an international airport (the u.k realise there is a majority of n cypriot people living there especially in london and this helps relations)

and it does make a diffrence because with these petitions and cases put forward by the turkish cypriot and u.k government go before The Convention on International Civil Aviation which are based in chicago u.s

but the problem lies again with the greeks because they are complaining to the i.c.a firstly that n cyprus is not reconized (change the record) and that they dont want comercial planes going over greek airspace which they might have to do if flying direct from the u.k (which is rubbish they can still fly over trukey and not stop in turkey)

so all we can do as the public is sign these petition and hopefully sooner or later be heard

I read smewhere that the ICA is pulling the Turkish and ROC authorities together as apparently both sides Air traffic controllers do not speak to each other. The ICA fears a mid air collision.

This madness needs to be sorted out.

hi erkan,yes i did thanks.have found a few agencies who do long term rents,will be looking for some more when we come out next week.Have seen some for about 350gbp a month,plus bills,that seems very reasonable(not an expert on the subject).

hi cressy

this 350 a month i guess it is a apartment

when you go and see it and if you like you tell them you want it for long term and you will pay maybe 4-6 months upfront but you want it for 275-300 no more than this trust me you will get for cheaper than 350 because firstly renting market is slow at the moment especially at thıs time of year

secondly you will be renting long term aswell not just seasonal

so dont forget you hold the power!!!!!

good luck and hope you have a good holiday and do as much research as you can when there

Hi All

I signed up Sunday as soon as I saw the thread 400 and something then.

I also asked everyone I know; that may want to visit when I move out to sign up also.

I see from what most of you have said you are doing the same.



That's why I am curious as to why there is only 454 signatures as of 1pm today.



Surely there are more people than that out there that would benefit from direct and ultimately cheaper flights. If not I can see why we have not managed to get them before now.

It would not be cost effective for the airlines would it?

How about forwarding this to all the builders, estate agents and solicitors we are using, as it would be in their interest to improve flights to TRNC

Good idea.

All the builders out there putting up houses everywhere would stand a much better chance of selling their properties if it was easier to get to Northern Cyprus.



It would help with people's confidence as to whether to buy or not to buy as well I believe.



It would show things are improving relationship wise with the rest of the world wouldn't it?

hi there sussie and annew

your guess is as good as mine why there is only 454 signatures

but to tell you the truth the response has been quite good because before i posted this it was only on 322 so in 6 days 132 have signed

i have sent emails to estate agents with this link so hopefully they will spread the word, no point really in sending to builders most of them are not too bothered the way they think is they have sold houses up to now without direct flights so what diffrence will it make

Hi all,



I know that they tried this a while ago and no10 said it was something to do with an greement I think called the californian agreement???



That by introducing direct flights it would be in breech of this agreement!

And would be as if we are internationally recognising the north and breaking the law in doing so!



So until the political situ changes I dont think it will happen!



But tides are changing so keep on trying!!



Take care all-D
