According to a spokesman, all flights to Arbil have been cancelled by Turkish Airlines until further notice due to security concerns. 
Sunni Islamist militants have advanced to within a half hour's drive of Arbil, prompting a U.S. air strike on Friday, the first such intervention since American troops pulled out in 2011.
