EVA and China Southern suspend Istanbul

As a result of the recent political events in Turkey which include a failed coup plus a deadly bomb attack on Istanbul's Ataturk airport, the first real fall out (airline wise) has finally taken place with two long haul route suspensions:

• Taiwan's Eva Air has confirmed that it will be suspending all TPE-IST 4 weekly nonstop flights effective 25JUL until April 2017
• China Southern (Guangzhou based) has also confirmed that it has indefinitely suspended all 3 weekly nonstop Urumqi-Istanbul services effective immediately
