India Cancels Security Clearance of Turkey-Based Celebi Airport Services Over  National Security Concerns

India’s aviation security authority, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), has withdrawn the security clearance of Çelebi Airport Services India, a subsidiary of Turkish firm Çelebi Aviation Holding. The decision was taken immediately, citing concerns over national security, following Turkey’s support for Pakistan in the recent India-Pakistan conflict.

In response, Çelebi India defended its identity, stating that it is entirely Indian in its operations and leadership. The company emphasized that it is not a Turkish entity and is primarily owned by global institutional investors. Rejecting claims circulating on social media, Çelebi clarified that Turkish President Erdoğan’s daughter, Sümeyye Erdoğan Bayraktar, has no ownership in the firm and labeled such rumors as false.

The move comes amid rising public calls in India for a travel boycott of Turkey and a reassessment of Turkish business operations in the country. The use of Turkish drones by Pakistan during the recent military conflict has further fueled negative sentiment. Çelebi’s operations at several Indian airports, considered sensitive infrastructure, have come under particular scrutiny.
