One step short of adopting open skies between Turkey and Ukraine, both countries last week doubled quotas on most flights. Limits on Odesa-Istanbul were abolished. The limit on Kyiv-Istanbul was raised to 24 a week. Adana, a regional capital near the Mediterranean, becomes the seven Turkish city open to direct flights from Ukraine. With 11 Ukrainian cities offering direct flights to Turkey, 1.5 million Ukrainians – about 4% of the national population – vacationed in Turkey last year. In return, 217,000 Turks visited Ukraine.
