Turkish Airlines boosts Birmingham to Istanbul flights
Birmingham airport has claimed that Turkish Airlines is ‘going from strength to strength’ at the base, with the frequency of the carrier’s flights to Istanbul increasing from seven to ten a week.
Additional services on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays will boost access to Turkey’s largest city and also enable more onward connections to the Middle East, Far East and Africa.
To celebrate the development, the airline presented the West Midlands gateway with a giant model aircraft that now hangs from the ceiling of the international pier.
Martyn Lloyd, commercial director at Birmingham airport, said the last four years have brought consistent growth in the number of people flying with Turkish Airlines.
He added: ‘This increase in the number flights per week is great news for our leisure and business passengers, who now have even more choice and flexibility for long-haul connectivity from Birmingham.’
Leisure travellers heading to Istanbul can see sights such as the Sultan Ahmed mosque, Topkapi Palace and the Hagia Sophia museum.
