Istanbul Airport

[MikeCollinge]

Does anyone have any experience transiting Istanbul Airport with a drone?

I will be going through Istanbul on my way to Kazakhstan in July, but I have a long layover with a self transfer which means I will need to collect my luggage, go through customs (technically entering Turkey) and check it in for my onwards flight.

Does anyone know if I will have any problems.

That's a tricky one. Honestly I would NOT even do it. You need to submit paperwork-IN ADVANCE- before you enter Istanbul! this is whats called a Technical conformation sheet.
To apply for technical confirmation, use Form-336 found on the Turkish DGCA website,You may actually have to submit a form detailing your criminal history to enter Turkey with a Drone!! Depending on you country of origin. My advice to you would be to contact the Turkish Consulate online or by phone.

Thanks. Good to know. That sounds like it's more hassle than it's worth. If my luggage was checked all the way through and I was just transiting, it wouldn't be an issue.
