Turkish authorities have arrested a man who hijacked a commercial plane travelling from southeast Turkey to Istanbul this evening.
Television reports, quoting officials, earlier spoke of a woman hijacker but this could not be confirmed.
The Pegasus Airline plane, which CNN Turk said was carrying 175 passengers, landed in the capital Ankara.
The hijacker was named as Mehmet Goksin Gol by the state-run Anatolian news agency.
An official said police believed he acted from personal, not political motives, and may be mentally ill.
The hijacking comes six months after a Turkish man hijacked a Turkish Airlines flight on its way from Tirana, Albania, to Istanbul. It was diverted to Italy.
