The United States has lifted a ban on flights to and from Turkey following the failed coup, the US Federal Aviation Administration said.

The ban, which included both direct flights and those from a third country, went into effect after a faction of Turkey's military attempted to overthrow the Turkish government. The coup crumbled on Saturday as supporters of President Tayyip Erdogan took to the streets in defiance of the coup plotters.

The attempted coup forced airlines to cancel flights.

The FAA said in a statement that it lifted the restrictions at 1:45 pm Eastern. CNN Turk had previously reported the news.

In a statement, Turkish Airlines said its flights to the United States would resume Tuesday morning.

The attempted coup followed a series of bombings that have hit Turkey this year, including a suicide attack in June that killed 45 people at Istanbul's main airport. They have weighed on international travel to the country.

As of July 2, international flight bookings to Istanbul for trips in the second half of the year were down 36 percent from a year ago, travel data analysis company ForwardKeys said.
