Turkish Airlines flights resumed on Tuesday.

The FAA in the United States has lifted all restrictions on flights to and from Turkey, the agency said in a statement. 

Turkish Airlines flights resumed on Tuesday.

US regulators had banned flights to or from the country in the wake of the failed military coup attempt against the government of president Tayyip Erdogan last Friday. 

Carriers also had been forbidden from operating a single plane between the U.S. and Turkey with a stopover. 

Although the ban is over, airlines that serve Turkey either directly from the U.S. or through European destinations are offering ticket changes free of charge with some restrictions.
