Turkish Airlines to increase Istanbul-Osaka flights from March

Turkish Airlines will increase flights between Istanbul and Osaka to five round trips from late March to attract more business users.

There are currently four round-trip flights per week connecting Istanbul Ataturk Airport with Kansai International Airport near Osaka.

The airline also said the departure time of flights leaving Narita airport, east of Tokyo, to Istanbul six days a week will be moved up by nearly three hours to noon, also from late March, allowing more passengers to make connection flights to Europe within the same day.

Tuba Toptan Yavuz, head of Turkish Airlines’ Japan office, said at a press conference in Tokyo that the carrier is hoping to increase flights between Narita and Istanbul to one round-trip flight every day.
