The information has not been officially confirmed but Turkish military aircraft often violate Greek airspace. Earlier in October, Greece scrambled fighter jets to intercept several Turkish F-16 planes over the Aegean.
Greek authorities recorded a total of 1,306 airspace violations committed by 101 Turkish military aircraft from January until August 2015. But this figure pales in comparison to January 2014 when approximately a thousand violations allegedly took place.
Greek military aircraft frequently fly over Turkey`s territory as well.
