Turkish Airlines, the national flag carrier of Turkey, announced its maiden flight from its second airport in Istanbul, Sabiha Gokcen International Airport, to Dubai which started on December 25.
Turkish Airlines currently flies 14 weekly flights to Dubai from its hub at Istanbul Ataturk Airport. The inclusion of seven additional flights per week to and from Sabiha Gokcen, which is on the Asian side of Istanbul, will increase its capacity on routes to Dubai by nearly 50 per cent.
From March 2016, the airline will increase its weekly flights to 10 per week between Dubai and Sabiha Gokcen, further increasing frequencies and capacity on this route.
A special ceremony was held at Dubai International Airport in the presence of Emre Ismailoglu, general manager, for Dubai and the Northern Emirates at Turkish Airlines, and Jamal Zaal, vice-president of terminal and cargo operations at the operation unit at Dubai Airports. The event was graced by Erdem Ozan, Turkish Consul-General in Dubai. The additional flights will enable even greater opportunities for travellers for onward connections to Europe, the Middle East, and other parts of Asia.
Travelling to Sabiha Gokcen will also enable passengers to access popular Turkish destinations like Bursa, Bodrum, Ankara, Samsun and Antalya, amongst others.
Turkish Airlines, Europe's best airline for the fifth year in a row, now flies to 282 destinations worldwide with 234 international and 48 domestic. The airline's network growth will receive a further boost with the introduction of new US destinations like Atlanta, new African destinations, and also further afield across Europe.
