A flight from Turkey to Canada turns into an asylum process for the flight crew.

-


A seemingly normal flight for Turkish Airlines, from Istanbul to Toronto, turned into a story starring the Turkish cabin crew, who decided this would be their last flight from Turkey.




According to the Turkish "Airport Huber" website, which specializes in aviation news, the crew of the Turkish Airlines plane applied for asylum in Canada, upon their arrival there.

The website indicated that a number of crew members of the Turkish Airlines plane, which was bound for Canada, left their identity cards and passports in hotel rooms and applied for asylum in this country.

Satchkin Kocak, head of the Turkish Airlines Staff Union, made a statement about the incident, saying: "As a national airline, I do not welcome the sudden departure of the team. They should have resigned and left."

Kochak stated that the asylum was based on living conditions, and that these people "carry the fears of the new generation."

He pointed to the high fragility of Turkey and the uncertainty that dominates the people there, stressing that there are many social factors behind the hospitality staff's decision, as they may see this as a way out of a difficult living situation.

According to the site, the cases of Turkish Airlines employees “defection” and their migration to countries that do not require visas are on the rise, as they go to Western countries and work there as drivers, cashiers and waitresses.

Kochak stressed that "many individuals, including the pilots themselves, who took unpaid leave during the Corona epidemic, did so."

  How Two Pilots Flew For More Than 64 Consecutive Days Without Landing. In 1958 two men in a Cessna took off on a nonstop 150 , 000 -mile flight around the desert outside Las Vegas and set a record that still stands. In May, Australia's Qantas Airways announced it had ordered the aircraft to link Sydney to London or New York with nonstop flights. Codenamed Project Sunrise, Qantas CEO Alan Joyce talked of breaking through the last frontier and how Australia would now be one flight away from anywhere. Qantas has chosen the Airbus A 350 - 1000 for the job but have they picked the wrong aircraft? Perhaps they should have considered the Cessna 172 that hangs above the baggage carousel at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (LAS). In 1958 , that Cessna 172 flew nonstop for 64 days, 22 hours and 19 minutes and covered 150 , 000 miles ( 240 , 000 kilometers). That's about six times around the Earth or 15 Sydney-New York flights without touching the ground. It started as
