Motion text
That this House calls on the Government to allow direct flights from the United Kingdom to Ercan International Airport in Northern Cyprus; notes the ongoing hardship caused by current travel restrictions to over 300,000 Turkish Cypriots in the UK and thousands of British nationals in Northern Cyprus; further notes that Ercan Airport meets international aviation security standards; recalls that over 50 Parliamentarians urged similar action in the last Parliament to end what they described as a discriminatory ban; and believes that facilitating direct flights would promote fairness, ease family travel and strengthen the UK's strategic presence in the region.
