How Turkish Airlines Defraud American Passengers to Freetown (FNA)  The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Secretary of Transportation should never permit American airspace to be used to defraud American passengers. At least, American passengers should be provided with an alert. Turkish Airlines has perfected the art of deception and fraud for a very long time after using American airspace. The airline sells tickets at relatively exorbitant prices without informing passengers that they will be separated from their luggage on arrival—the separation is a routine and unstated policy. On arrival, American passengers might be lucky to receive luggage that were checked-in in Istanbul but not American airports. Contrary to international convention and the stipulations of the airline, America passengers are coerced to check-in their hand luggage that meet weight specifications for proximity of access. The passengers are coerced to check-in their luggage under the ruse that there is no charge. There is no contractual or conventional basis for such a departure from international standards. The airline releases a backlog of luggage without the luggage of current and patiently waiting American passengers. In general, passengers have no direct line of communication with the airline. There is no booth or credible representative of the airline to address the concerns of American passengers. A shadowy patchwork of local residents performs shady intermediary functions, including the release of an irregularity form for an irregular business. Passengers then have to wait for the improbable delivery of their luggage. Some of the lucky passengers who eventually and belatedly receive their luggage experience breaches and theft of property. For over 5 days, luggage are still outstanding for some passengers. No passenger, let alone American passengers, should be subjected to such fraudulent activities that are accompanied by callousness or indifference of the highest order; especially after the use of American airspace under the presumption of adherence to the American and international standards of aviation. This practice must be corrected, failing which the American government must not be allowing an airline to cavalierly defraud American passengers.
