Turkish resorts are ‘calm’ and customers are ‘enjoying their holidays’ as normal, following Friday night’s attempted coup, according to Thomas Cook, which said it has had few cancellations.
A spokeswoman for the operator said: "Following the events in Turkey over the weekend, we have received a high volume of calls from customers due to travel, the majority of which were from customers seeking reassurance and have not translated into cancellations.
"To date, cancellations have been minimal."
The spokeswoman added: "There has been no change to Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advice regarding travel to Turkey and our flight and holiday programme is operating as normal.
"Our staff on the ground in resort tell us is that everything is calm and customers are enjoying their holidays.
"We will continue to monitor the situation closely."
She said the road out of Marmaris was not closed, as the FCO had said, but there was a police check in place last night and all vehicles in and out were checked.
A statement from TUI said: "As the FCO advice for travel to Turkey has not changed, Thomson and First Choice flights to Dalaman, Antalya, Izmir and Bodrum are operating as normal.
"All flights departing today are due to operate as normal.
"We are continuing to closely monitor the situation, together with the relevant authorities.
"The safety and security of our customers and crew is our highest priority and we follow the advice of the UK Government and the FCO.
"Normal booking conditions apply for all travel dates to Turkey."
