US working with Turks to resume air ops

The United States is working with Turkish officials to resume air operations at Incirlik Air Base "as soon as possible" after the Turkish government closed its airspace to military aircraft after a coup attempt, the Pentagon says.

"In the meantime, US Central Command is adjusting flight operations in the counter-ISIL campaign to minimise any effects on the campaign," Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said in a statement on Saturday.

"US facilities at Incirlik are operating on internal power sources and a loss of commercial power to the base has not affected base operations," he said.
