Turkish Airlines: beginnings

Turkish Airlines has an exquisite track record of exponential growth since it entered the industry in 1933. It began its story with a mere 5 aircraft in Turkey. It’s growth really started to gain momentum when the Turkish government took over in 1983. Its headquarters are in Istanbul.

Turkish Airlines in the 21st century

The national flag carrier of Turkey, Turkish Airlines has proceeded in leaps and bounds to become Turkey’s leading airline. It owes much of it’s current success to trademark investments made over the years, which was epitomized when it made the largest order of aircraft ever to be ordered in Turkey in 2013. This paved the way for continuing excellent customer service as well as maintaining a regular fleet through the years. For these reasons it is Turkey’s number one airline and has flowered into one of the world’s leading airlines, taking passengers to more than 240 destinations around the world. It currently boasts a fleet of 330 aircraft, including cargo carriers.

Turkish Airlines has achieved many milestones over the years that distinguishes it from its competitors and makes it an even more valuable part of the Turkish economy. These include the development in 2014 of the maintenance and repair centre, and the Turkish Seats Industries. The airline belongs to one of the biggest airline alliances in the world, Star Alliance. Other members of star Alliance include Air New Zealand, Air China and EgyptAir.

Turkish Airlines South Africa

Turkish Airlines has a considerable presence in South Africa, offering flights to Europe and other international destinations from Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. For people travelling to Europe, Turkish Airlines is one of the better options for the simple reason that its headquarters are located on the European border. This means shorter flights from SA travellers, a boon to any jet-setter. There is a daily flight operating between Cape Town and Istanbul and Johannesburg and Istanbul. Flights to Istanbul from Durban may include a short stop-over in Johannesburg to allow for new passengers to board. There are a few return flights from Durban per week. Turkish Airlines does not offer flights between cities in South Africa, such as flights between Johannesburg and Cape Town, except as a stop-over point.
