Greetings everyone,
I'm hoping to work in an airport and in some area of tourism, I'm interested to know a few examples of phrases you'd hear around the airport in Turkish, for example, there is a flight delay, the flight is due to depart/land in 10 minutes, please follow me to the check-in desk, your transfer coach is over there, please go to gate '' , bla bla  As many as you can think of.
I realise you might be thinking 'why on earth does she need to know this?' but I really do want to know it 
şimdiden teşekkür ederim

airport = havalimanı
there is a flight delay = uçuş rotarlı or uçuş gecikmeli
the flight is due to depart/land in 10 minutes = uçuşun 10 dakika sonra kalkmasını/inmesini bekleniyor
please follow me to the check-in desk = lütfen check-in kontörüne kadar beni takip edin
your transfer coach is over there = servis otobüsünüz orada
please go to gate '' = ' ' numaralı kapıya lütfen gidin
İyi uçuşlar

Quoting MarioninTurkey: the flight is due to depart/land in 10 minutes = uçuşun 10 dakika sonra kalkmasını/inmesini bekleniyor

Just a correction:
Uçağın 10 dakika sonra kalkması [without -nı]/inmesi [without -ni] bekleniyor.
1) Uçuş is flight, uçak is plane
2) Because it is a passive sentence.
As you know, in passive voce:
- subject of the active sentence is not important, for that reason, we prefer to use passive.
- [object of the active sentence]=[subject of the passive sentence] and subjects haven't got sentence/verb suffixes
[...] bekleniyor
[...]= Uçağın 10 dakika sonra kalkması/inmesi

How about......
Çok özür dilerim ama bugün buradan uçuşu ayrılmayacak çünkü iki uçağı kaza geçirdi.
I am very sorry but the flight will not depart from here today because two aeroplanes have crashed.
