Turkish Airlines has added 15 weekly flights from London Stansted, which becomes the third London airport on its route network.
The airline also operates flights to and from Dublin, meaning that this summer it will have 168 weekly flights from the UK and Ireland.
Turkish Airlines’ global network has 357 destinations in 133 countries across six continents.
Fuat Fırat, Vice President Sales (Middle and Northern Europe) at Turkish Airlines, said: “The United Kingdom continues to be one of the key strategic markets for Turkish Airlines.
“With the addition of London Stansted flights, we are pleased to expand our presence in London to a third airport, further strengthening London Stansted’s connectivity and offering our guests greater flexibility to access our unparalleled global network.
“We believe this new route will not only meet regional demand but also contribute to both commercial and tourism activity across the region.”
Gareth Powell, Managing Director of London Stansted Airport, commented: “Istanbul is a fantastic destination in its own right, but this new service also opens the door to Turkish Airlines’ extensive global network, connecting London Stansted to over 350 destinations, offering passengers and businesses across our region greater choice and easier access to destinations across Asia, Africa, Australia and beyond.”
