Ankara prevented an Israeli aircraft making its way to Poland to fly in its airspace, the Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported.
The cargo plane was carrying more than 100 officers and non-commissioned officers to a tour of Auschwitz camps.
Civilian and military planes' route to Poland passes regularly over Turkey, but this time the Israeli air force was forced to use an alternative route.
The Anatolia news agency has also quoted Erdogan as telling reporters in Canada that Turkey imposed a ban on flights after the May 31 Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla.
Eight Turks and a Turkish-American were killed in the raid.
Turkey withdrew its ambassador and canceled joint military drills in response.
It has said it would reduce military and trade ties and not return its ambassador unless Israel apologizes for the raid. It also wants Israel to return the seized aid ships, agree to an international investigation and offer compensation for the victims.
