  • [01] More Turkish military aircraft enter Greek air space on Tuesday

  • [01] More Turkish military aircraft enter Greek air space on Tuesday

    A Turkish CN-235 military transport plane on Tuesday violated Greek air space and flew over the islet Panagia in the Oinousses complex at a height of just 100 feet (30 metres), the Hellenic National Defence General Staff (HNDGS) reported.

    The aircraft entered the Athens Flight Information Region (FIR) without submitting flight plans east of Chios at 10:59 in the morning, flew over Panagia at 100 feet and exited the Athens FIR one minute later, Greek authorities said.

    In addition to the CN-235, a pair of armed Turkish aircraft, another two CN-235 aircraft and a Turkish helicopter entered the Athens FIR without submitting flight plans. There were five infringements of air-traffic rules that developed into seven violations of national airspace in the Aegean.

    In all cases, the Turkish aircraft were intercepted and identified by Greek Mirage-2000 jets that took off from Skyros, while in one case the interception evolved into a mock dog-fight (at 14:10 northwest of Samos).
