A British Airways flight that was due to land in Ataturk was turned back and returned to London after the blasts.

It was scheduled to land at 11.40pm local time (9.40 BST), just after the explosions occurred.

A BA spokesman said: "We had one flight to Ataturk airport that has turned around and is coming back to London Gatwick.

"We don't have any other services scheduled today and we will keep the situation under review."
