Atualização de 19 de julho :
A proibição de voos da Turquia para os EUA foi retirada . Até agora eu suponho que a maioria dos voos para a Turquia operam conforme programado, mas é melhor verificar antes de voar. Você ainda deve considerar os conselhos de viagem do seu governo. O conselho australiano ainda está no mesmo nível, com as ameaças agora mais devido ao terrorismo do que a tentativa de golpe:
- The attempted coup in Turkey has failed and the situation is normalising. Localised military activity continues.
- Airport operations in Istanbul and Ankara are returning to normal, with additional security measures in place. Airports are very crowded. We recommend you confirm your travel arrangements before travelling to the airport.
- You should continue to avoid unnecessary travel, large gatherings and demonstrations.
e a atualização mais recente a partir de hoje:
Travellers are reminded of the high threat of terrorism in Turkey. We continue to receive information that indicates that terrorists may be planning attacks in Turkey which could take place at any time. Further attacks in urban centres are expected. It is likely some attacks will target western interests, including tourists. Due to the high threat of terrorist attack, we recommend you reconsider your need to travel to Ankara and Istanbul. Across Turkey, you should exercise heightened caution and be vigilant to your personal safety and surroundings. The level of our advice has not changed.
Atualização de 16 de julho : Os atuais conselhos de viagem do Ministério das Relações Exteriores do Reino Unido:
We strongly advise you to stay indoors, avoid public places, in particular demonstrations, and remain vigilant.
E aconselhamento semelhante e mais detalhado da Austrália (aplica-se a cidadãos de todos os países IMHO, ênfase minha):
The security situation in Turkey, particularly in Ankara and Istanbul, remains tense. You should stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel. The security situation may be fluid for some time. Ataturk international airport and Sabiha Gokcen international airport in Istanbul have resumed limited operations although delays and possibly flight diversions are likely. All inbound and outbound flights at Esenboga airport in Ankara have been cancelled until 1800 local time. You should contact your airline or travel agent for information about your travel arrangements, including connecting flights, but in the meantime suggest you avoid gathering at Ataturk Airport until confirmation of resumption of normal service. Avoid any large gatherings or demonstrations. The President has urged all citizens to show support for democracy on the streets in major cities on the evening of 16 July. Australians should avoid any such gathering. We continue to advise Australians to exercise a high degree of caution in Turkey overall and to reconsider their need to travel to Istanbul and Ankara. Higher levels apply in some, other parts of Turkey.
Muitas companhias aéreas cancelaram voos, por exemplo Lufthansa
Lufthansa has cancelled all flights between Frankfurt and Istanbul, as well as, all flights between Munich and Turkey for today 16 July 2016 for security reasons. Our connections between Frankfurt and Antalya, as well as, the flight v.v. Frankfurt-Bodrum will be operated as planned.
As companhias aéreas dos EUA não estão autorizadas a voar em nossos aeroportos fora de Istambul e Ancara a partir de ontem:
Per the Federal Aviation Administration’s notice to airmen (NOTAM) dated July 15, 2016, U.S. airline carriers are prohibited from flying to or from Istanbul and Ankara airports. All airline carriers, regardless of country of registry, are prohibited from flying into the United States from Turkey either directly or via third country.

Eu não tenho uma visão geral, mas aparentemente alguns vôos estão entrando e saindo de Istambul novamente, principalmente com a Turkish Airlines. Se você estava programado para viajar, entre em contato com sua companhia aérea. A Turkish publicou uma dispensa para voos de Reembolso e Remarcação aqui.
Post antigo em 15 de julho :
Como sempre, flyertalk fóruns são a melhor fonte de informação para voos para Istambul. Confira as informações mais recentes enterradas nas discussões.
- Aparentemente, a partir de agora, pelo menos, alguns voos da Turkish Airlines ainda aterrissam no IST, enquanto os voos de companhias estrangeiras são desviados para outros aeroportos.
- A BBC informa que o aeroporto (IST, eu suponho) está fechado.
O conselho de viagem para as pessoas na Turquia seria ficar onde você estiver e ficar longe de problemas. A partir do relatório da Reuters relacionado na pergunta :
The U.S. State Department said Americans in Turkey should shelter indoors.
