Turkish Air Force extricates A400Ms from Kyiv Boryspil

The Turkish Air Force/Türk Hava Kuvvetleri has successfully repatriated both of its A400Ms that were stuck at Kyiv Boryspil since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022.

The Turkish Ministry of National Defence said the two military transports departed Kyiv on December 20 and arrived safely at Kayseri airport. It did not provide any further details as to how the ferry flights were arranged.

17-0080 (msn 80) and 18-0093 (msn 93) flew to the Ukrainian capital during the night of February 23/24, 2022. According to the Turkish Ministry of Defence, the aircraft were delivering humanitarian aid to Ukraine and were due to evacuate Turkish citizens on the return leg, given the risk of hostilities. However, once Russia's incursion unfurled in the early hours of February 24, Ukrainian airspace was closed to all flights, including government and non-combat-related military operations. The two Airbus Defence and Space turboprops were put in storage as Ankara attempted, without success, to negotiate their safe passage with the Kremlin.
