What is Turkish Airlines' position today?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u00d6mer Faruk S\u00f6nmez -<\/strong> We may not know it enough, but Turkish Airlines is the airline that offers the most destinations in the world today. We offer 349 destinations in 130 countries with our fleet of over 460 aircraft.<\/strong> This means we cover 90% of the world's population. Only on the France<\/strong>We offer 101 frequencies a week to 7 cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What's new on the network for the 2024\/2025 winter season?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u00d6mer Faruk S\u00f6nmez -<\/strong> The most important new feature is certainly theopening of Sydney on 4 December 2024<\/strong>. The flight will be made 4 times a week<\/strong> via Kuala Lumpur. With the delivery of the Airbus A350-1000 ultra-long-range aircraft around 2026, we will be able to offer non-stop flights. On 18 December 2024, we will also be inaugurating four weekly flights from Istanbul to Santiago de Chile<\/strong>with a stopover in Sao Paulo. Last June, we also inaugurated a new route to the United States with service to Denver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asia remains one of the continents where we are continuing to expand strongly<\/strong>. We have added frequencies to Bali, Bangkok, the Maldives and Phuket for the winter season. And we're looking at new services to Cambodia, Indonesia and Thailand. But I can't give any dates at the moment. We remain very dependent on the delivery of new aircraft according to schedule...<\/p>\n\n\n\n
