As a result, air traffic control authorities diverted all scheduled flights to Adana and Sanliurfa airports.
Habertürk, a Turkish news website, corroborated the incident, stating that air traffic controllers also confirmed the presence of the unidentified object.
Subsequently, 26 flights (13 departures and 13 arrivals) at Gaziantep Airport were canceled.
Notably, no Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) was issued by the Gaziantep Airport State Airports Authority (DHMI) in relation to the incident.
A NOTAM is typically filed to inform pilots of potential flight routes or location hazards.
After a 12-hour suspension, flight operations at Gaziantep Airport resumed.
