Turkish Airlines will not permit wild animals to be carried to Turkey from abroad after the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry suspended their entry
A Turkish Airlines plane takes off in front of the control tower at Istanbul Airport on April 6, 2019.
The move came after the General Directorate of the Agriculture and Forestry suspended entry of exotic animals and invertebrates, amphibians, ferrets, reptiles, and rodents into Turkey from all countries for any purpose, either accompanied by passengers or transported by cargo. Both the pet and its human companion are required to undergo a 14-day quarantine after arriving in Turkey, the national flag carrier said.
