This was reported to RIA Novosti by an informed source.

Earlier, The Wall Street Journal wrote that US representatives are putting pressure on Turkey to stop allowing the arrival and maintenance of flights by Russian airlines that use American-made aircraft.

“There were no such instructions,” the source said.

He added that work at airports continues as usual.

In December, Kommersant wrote that six months after the imposition of sanctions, Russian airlines were able to return 201 foreign aircraft to transportation abroad.
