Turkish Airlines has recently announced its exciting new destination in Australia: Sydney.
– Starting December 4th, the airline will operate flights on the Istanbul – Kuala Lumpur – Sydney route, featuring four weekly flights. These services will utilize the Airbus A350-900 aircraft, which accommodates 329 passengers.
– Turkish Airlines is set to expand its Australian operations, offering connections between Türkiye and two key cities, including Melbourne, where they currently operate three weekly flights via Singapore. The A350-900s used for these routes provide a total of 987 weekly seats on the Jakarta-Melbourne leg and are expected to give Sydney a significant boost with 1,306 seats each week.
– The current schedule for flights from Istanbul to Sydney will run on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
– Turkish Airlines Chairman Prof. Ahmet Bolat expressed enthusiasm for this new addition, highlighting the connection it provides and the airline’s commitment to enhancing its presence in Australia. He also mentioned plans for direct flights to Sydney by 2026 once the Airbus A350-1000 aircraft are introduced.
– Scott Charlton, CEO of Sydney Airport, noted that this announcement is a major step for travel between Australia and Europe, boosting access to numerous destinations through Turkish Airlines’ Istanbul hub.
– With over 15,000 Turkish-born Australians in New South Wales, the anticipation for the new service is strong, given the growing popularity of Türkiye as a travel destination for Australians.
In addition to its new Sydney route, Turkish Airlines operates a well-established connection between Istanbul and Melbourne, providing a range of services and options for travelers looking to connect through Türkiye.
Turkish Airlines boasts a massive fleet of 360 aircraft, with an average age of just nine years, ensuring passengers have access to modern and comfortable travel experiences across its extensive network.
