Turkish Airlines explained why they refused and will continue to remove Russian tourists from flights on their way to Latin America

The well-known Turkish airline Turkish Airlines has announced that it will refuse to provide services to Russians if they fly to certain six Latin American countries. The reason for this is the company's reluctance to incur additional costs if Russian citizens are not allowed to leave the airport and are deported.

It will be possible to get to Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, Panama, Cuba, and Brazil only if certain conditions are met, which will be checked before boarding. This was reported on the website of Turkish Airlines after Russians traveling to a Madonna concert were turned around for no reason at the airport in Istanbul, Turkey, just before boarding a plane bound for Mexico.

The basic requirements for Russians to fly remain standard: a credit card, enough money, certain flight dates, hotel reservations, and a valid visa. In the future, a certain country will set its own conditions.

Russians will not be able to enter Venezuela as tourists without a notarized invitation to the country. Mexico requires an e-visa and a return ticket. For Colombia, a transit stay should last no more than 24 hours, while in Panama this time was reduced to 12 hours.

The American countries have tried to limit the number of Russian tourists as much as possible, which may result in them being either denied entry or denied a flight.
