Turkish Airlines sets world record for flying to most countries
Turkish Airlines has officially been recognised by Guinness World Records for flying to more countries than any other carrier.
It is a record that the flag airline has unofficially held since 2012.
The record certificate for “Most Countries Flown to by an Airline” was presented at Santiago Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport following Turkish Airlines’ inaugural flight to Chile.
The ceremony was attended by Turkish Airlines executives and Guinness World Records officials.
Based on Guinness World Records evaluation criteria, Turkish Airlines operates flights to a record 120 countries.
When including temporarily suspended routes and the inaugural flight to Chile, Turkish Airlines’ flight network now spans 131 countries.
Turkish Airlines CEO Bilal Ekşi said: “We are delighted to be in Santiago, Chile, our newest route launched today, and to receive the Guinness World Records title.:
“As the only airline to hold this distinction for over a decade, we proudly showcase the strength of our flight network.”
