Turkey’s Celebi Sues Indian Government over Security Clearance Cancellation
- India’s junior aviation minister announced the nationwide suspension of Turkey-based Celebi’s airport ground handling services by revoking its security clearance on Thursday.
- The Indian government acted after receiving widespread requests and public anger linked to Turkey’s support for Pakistan amid India-Pakistan tensions.
- Celebi provides ground handling services at several major Indian airports and had passed prior background and security checks by national agencies before the revocation.
- Celebi challenged the government’s decision in the Delhi High Court on May 16, calling the cited national security concerns vague and warning that 3,791 jobs and investor confidence could be affected.
- Following the clearance revocation, India unilaterally terminated Celebi’s key licence and concession agreements, prompting Celebi to promise legal action to reverse the orders and clarify allegations.
