Turkey-based Celebi, which provides airport ground handling in India, has launched a legal challenge to New Delhi's decision to overturn its security clearance, arguing that "vague" national security concerns were cited without reasoning.

Amid growing public anger in India about Turkey's stance on Pakistan in the India-Pakistan tensions, India revoked Celebi's security clearance in the 'interest of national security'.

Turkish company Çelebi Aviation said on Saturday it’s “fully cooperating” with Indian authorities and adhering to regulations after its ground handling and cargo warehouse operations were suspended due to national security concerns.
