Quoting bod: Quoting *Carla Louise*: 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. |
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.
|
crash= çarpışmak
iki uçak çarpıştı (not uçağı if these plane are not special that we don't know which are)
I am not sure if we say "ayrılmak" for "uçuş". Because uçuş is the plan (the programmed time of the aeroplane), uçak is the aeroplane. Uçuş is not something which can depart or arrive. Uçak may depart or arrive.

I think I have heard uçuş kalktı. = the flight has departed
Is that right? Or would it have been uçak kaltı? = the plane has taken off
Thanks!

Dear Passengers,
We are now descending and will soon land at ..... Airport. What you believe to be safe landing is actually a controlled crash. Good luck all !

I think a Turkish translation is required  Plus instructions on how to assume crash positions!

As I explained, uçuş is not something to depart in Turkish.
Sometimes we say: Uçuşlar sona erdi: They finished, tere is no flight anymore.
Uçuşunuz iptal edildi: It is cancelled
Uçuş is the schedule; but uçak takes off and lands. It is exactly "Uçak kalktı" (taken off), or "Uçak indi" (landed)
