Turkey-based Celebi, which provides airport ground handling in India, has launched a legal challenge to New Delhi's decision to overturn its security clearance, arguing that "vague" national security concerns were cited without reasoning.

Turkish company Çelebi Aviation said on Saturday it’s “fully cooperating” with Indian authorities and adhering to regulations after its ground handling and cargo warehouse operations were suspended due to national security concerns.

What began as public calls to boycott travel to Turkey has now escalated into a broader rupture, with India severing links with Turkish businesses and universities. The diplomatic chill stems from Turkey's recent vocal support for Pakistan during the recent India-Pakistan hostilities.
