Journalist Reha Muhtar lost his temper and caused a scene at Istanbul Airport when he missed his flight. Turkish Airlines Communication Director Yahya Üstün announced that Muhtar has been blacklisted, stating, "Flight safety and respect for people are always our top priorities."
Reha Muhtar, who is frequently talked about due to his experiences with actress Deniz Uğur Gülener, recently made headlines with his actions at Istanbul Airport. In the footage shared on social media, it was seen that Muhtar attempted to pass through the X-Ray machine while talking on the phone, and when warned by the staff, he responded, "I'm talking on the phone, I'm not coming through."
Upon being directed by the staff towards the exit, Muhtar reacted with the statements, "What kind of oppression is this? Where did you learn to oppress in life? Did you learn it from your mother, or from your father?"
BLACKLISTED
Following the emergence of the footage, THY Communication Director Yahya Üstün made a statement on his social media account. In his statement, Üstün said, "Airport security rules apply to everyone for their safety, and no exceptions are made. Reha Muhtar, who attempted to violate these rules before his flight and behaved inappropriately towards the staff, is now on the blacklist for Turkish Airlines flights. Flight safety and respect for individuals are always our top priorities."
