Türkiye’s Air Force aircraft are set to arrive in Estonia next autumn for the first time, taking part in the protection of Baltic airspace, the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced.
Speaking after a meeting in Ankara with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan and the Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, Fuat Oktay, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said: “Türkiye actively contributes to NATO’s eastern flank defence, including the upcoming mission at Ämari Air Base, where Turkish jets are expected to help safeguard the Baltic airspace next autumn.”
Tsahkna also reaffirmed Estonia’s commitment to the EU’s enlargement policy and expressed support for constructive dialogue between the EU and Türkiye, including the modernisation of the customs union.
“Closer cooperation between Türkiye and the European Union will contribute to strengthening Europe’s overall defence capabilities,” he added.
This marks a significant step in NATO’s eastern flank operations, highlighting Türkiye’s increasing role in regional security and air defence collaboration in the Baltic region.
