Expansion in Oceania and Asia-Pacific

Turkish Airlines already operates flights between Istanbul and Melbourne three times a week, with a stopover in Singapore. Additionally, since December, it has been offering four weekly flights to Sydney. Future plans include direct flights to Australia and New Zealand, leveraging new long-haul aircraft such as the Airbus A350-1000.

Turkish Airlines’ expansion into Oceania underscores its commitment to connecting more destinations through its hub in Istanbul. These new flights will not only broaden travel options but also establish the airline as a key player in the global aviation market.
