Sydney Airport (SYD) is poised to welcome another international carrier, spurred by the debut of Turkish Airlines (TK) maiden flight into Melbourne (MEL) on March 2.
Melbourne (MEL) is set to join one of the largest airline networks globally as Turkish Airlines (TK) commences flights from Istanbul (IST) in March.
Turkish Airlines is on the verge of expanding its flight operations to Australia, gaining the ability to operate up to 35 services each week.
The Australian Government has thrown a wrench into Turkish Airlines’ plans to initiate flights to Melbourne in December. The airline has revealed that it has yet to receive any response to its application submitted to both the federal Transport Minister and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
Qantas (QF) Airways, an Australian flag carrier, has decided not to oppose Turkish Airlines (TK) request to initiate flights to Australia.
The renowned Star Alliance member Turkish Airlines (TK) is all set to formally announce the commencement of direct flights connecting Australia and Istanbul.
