ATHENS, June 29 (Xinhua) -- Greece's Aegean Airlines on Wednesday offered a date change or refund to travelers who had booked tickets for flights to/from the Turkish city of Istanbul, where at least 36 people were killed in a terrorist attack.

In an announcement issued after the terrorist attack, which also left more than 140 injured at Ataturk airport Tuesday, the Greek airline informed its customers that the change concerns tickets issued for flights until July 6.

Wednesday's four scheduled flights to and from Istanbul were canceled as Turkish authorities need time to restore the airport's operation.

A Turkish Airlines flight, scheduled for Tuesday night from Athens to Istanbul, was also canceled, said officials at Athens International Airport.

So far no Greek nationals have been identified among the victims of the attack, according to Greek authorities. About half an hour before the blasts, an Aegean Airlines flight departed from Ataturk airport.
