Regarding this incident, Turkish Airlines said:
“Our cargo flight on the ISL-ALA (Almaty) route numbered TK6220 departing Ataturk Airport at 8:40 am (local) encountered a flock of birds shortly after departure. Our plane discharged fuel for 30 minutes over the Sea of Marmara to reduce enough weight to land and then landed at Ataturk Airport.”
