...will shuttle corporate executives over most of Western Europe. Given that they can land on short runways, they can also use secondary airports that may be closer to customers' final destinations. Blink will fly 45 Cessna Mustangs, and later this summer Dublin-based Jet Bird will launch a rival European shuttle service with 100 Embraer Phenom 100s. More operators are expected as manufacturers such as Adam, Hondajet and Eclipse bring new microjets to the market...

Only Turkey recognizes the self-styled Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus; Greek Cypriots refer to it as "occupied territory." The North has just one extradition treaty (with Turkey), and scant police and prosecutorial cooperation with the outside...
