- Turkey's Competition Board Starts Turkish Airlines Probe

ISTANBUL (IHA) - Turkey's competition board said Monday it has launched an investigation into international carrier Turkish Airlines (THYAO.IS), or THY.

On its website, the board said it has started the investigation to determine whether THY breached the competition law by performing "eliminative actions" against rival airlines flying in and out of Istanbul, without being more specific.

THY wasn't immediately available to comment.

At 0750 GMT, THY shares were down 0.90% at TRY4.42, on a 0.06% lower overall market in Istanbul.
