NO TURKEY on the table? No problem.

That seems to be the stance from a number of analysts in the wake of Sats' recent announcement that it has axed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with Turkish Airlines that would have seen the aviation solutions firm providing in-flight catering to Turkey's flag carrier and other airlines at Istanbul New Airport.

Touted to be the world's largest, Istanbul New Airport - the city's third airport - is slated to open its doors in end October and can handle over 200 million passengers annually.
