Turkish Airlines begins Istanbul-Turin flights
Turkish Airlines has added yet another European destination to its flight network with the addition of a new route between Istanbul and Turin, Italy. The new route is the Star Alliance member’s ninth destination in Italy, and its 349th in the world.
With seven flight days a week, this new route will also easily connect passengers to one of six other continents through Turkish Airlines’ vast global network. Surrounded by the gorgeous Alps, Turin, the capital city of Piedmont in northern Italy, is renowned for its rich history, baroque architecture, and as a hub of the automotive industry.
As Italy’s first capital, Turin boasts an impressive array of cultural attractions including the Royal Palace, the iconic Mole Antonelliana, and the famous Egyptian Museum. The city is also celebrated for its refined cuisine and vibrant arts scene, making it a captivating destination for tourists and business travellers alike.
“We are glad to add Turin to our extensive flight network as our 349th destination. By strengthening our ties with Italy with our ninth presence, our guests in Italy’s north-west will be able to enjoy our flag carrier’s unrivalled flight network during their travels, while our passengers from around the world will have the opportunity to experience the wonders of Turin, Italy’s first historical capital city, with the privilege of flying with Turkish Airlines,” said Turkish Airlines CEO Bilal Ekşi.
Elisabetta Oliveri, chairman of Torino Airport, added: “We celebrate with great satisfaction the start of this flight, which opens up new growth prospects for Turin Airport, after two consecutive years in which a traffic record was set. The Turin-İstanbul connection also represents a further driver of development for the entire economy of the area and reconfirms the airport’s role as a strategic player in growth”.
