TK* | Turkish Airlines

[Messi]

Since air transportation is booming in Turkey for a decade now, it's about time to open a topic about I here.

Well the latest exiting development is the sponsorship of Turkish Airlines. Turkish Airlines is going to be a new sponsor of FC Barcelona and Manchester United for 3 years. Both teams will use Turkish Airlines for their continental and intercontinental flights.

That's the B777 which FC Barcelona is going to use for intercontinental flights







That one will be sued for continental flights, mostly for Champions League

BTS is among the 20 new destinations to be served until 2012

Slovakia is nearly the only country in Europe which THY does not serve but this will change soon

THY is increasing its flights to KHI to 1 daily (plane yet unknown). Daily flights to ISB and LHE also to start (the news was ambiguous, so I think it meant daily). Awaiting permission from Paki gov., which will be given.

Yeah.. Turkish Airlines really are going for an extra-ordinary expansion in routes number. Looking forward to TK flying to Vilnius.
