Update: FAA lifts ban on Turkey-US flights following coup attempt
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has lifted its ban on all flights between the US and Turkey as of 1.45pm EDT.
The FAA had barred all commercial and private flights between the US and Turkey following Friday’s failed coup, saying it was constantly monitoring the situation.
Meanwhile, the US Embassy in Ankara has said the situation in Turkey ‘remains fluid’.
In a statement, the Embassy said: "As the situation in Turkey stabilizes, US Embassy Ankara strongly encourages US citizens to use extreme caution in leaving your residence or hotel to conduct essential errands or business.
"Due to the potential for rallies and the possibility of clashes, the US Embassy advises you to conduct such activities during daylight hours."
