QA-73, 8 November 2018, Statement of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Hami Aksoy, in Response to a Question Regarding the Statements of the Greek Minister of National Defense, Panos Kammenos About Requests of Clearance for Turkish Military Aircraft’s Entry into the National Airspace of Greece

Republic Of Türkiye Ministry Of Foreign Affairs 09.11.2018

It is well-known that every State has to request clearance for the civil and military flights to use the airspace of another State. It goes without saying, Turkey recognizes six nautical miles of national airspace of Greece and thus requests clearance in accordance with international customs and rules for ferry/transport flights to and over Greece. This is not a new practice.
