Turkish Airlines has landed in Melbourne, marking its first destination in Australia.
The new down under gateway supports the airline’s expanding flight network, which now stands at 346 destinations, across six continents.
Turkish Airlines will now offer three Melbourne flights per week, as the only European airline to serve the Victoria capital.
The Turkish flag carrier will operate Melbourne flights via Singapore, from its Istanbul hub.
Dr. Ahmet Bolat, Turkish Airlines Chairman, said: “It marks a monumental milestone for Turkish Airlines, as we celebrate the realisation of a long-held ambition—to extend our reach to the Australian continent.”
“This achievement follows meticulous planning and extensive infrastructure developments.”
Lorie Argus, Melbourne Airport CEO, said: “Turkish Airlines has an extensive network and flies to more countries than any other airline, so this new competitor in the Australian market is fantastic news for consumers.”
