Macedonian plane not allowed to enter Greek airspace

Macedonian Air Transport plane was barred by Greece from entering Greek airspace while en route to Egypt. It landed in Turkey.

Due to Greek objections to the name of the company, MAT said the flight was registered under a different name.

Macedonia’s chief negotiator in the name dispute with Greece will hold talks with the UN mediator in New York. The EU and the US have urged both countries to resolve the name issue.
