Turkish Airlines takes travellers to new heights with its impeccable service and amenities
The cornerstone of Turkey’s culture is its hospitality; locals believe that visitors, regardless of which country they come from, are guests sent by God. Turkish welcome guests into their households by offering a pair of slippers and a cup of freshly brewed tea—a clear indication that Turkey has preserved the custom and integrated it with its tourism. This openness makes Turkey a top tourism destination along with its rich cultural history.
Turkish Airlines builds upon the same kind of hospitality to provide travellers an enjoyable experience. Affiliated with respected global airline network Star Alliance, the company’s membership assures passengers can benefit from a wider flight network, special programs, and offers.
A NEW JOURNEY
Turkish Airlines recently relocated from Istanbul Atatürk Airport to its new home at Istanbul Airport to help streamline its operations. The US$25 billion airport, which will have six runways once completed can initially accommodate 90 million passengers. Once additional terminals are built, the airport will be able to hold 200 million passengers a year, and is expected to be completed in 2023 if there are no delays.
With regard to this mission undertaking, Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and theExecutive Committee Mİlker Aycı says: “After this great move, which will be watched by the entire world, we will wake up to a new morning. It will be a morning, which the sun shining on Turkish Aviation with the flights operated at Istanbul Airport. I convey my hopes that it will bring a great fortune to both our country and company.”
The monumental project has cemented Istanbul’s status as a global center for aviation. To complement this achievement, the airport has enlisted Milan-based Italian couturier Ettore Bilotta to design new staff uniforms inspired by classic elements of Turkish design and culture normally found in glassware, ceramics, and calligraphy. The “flow detail,” on the clothing is based on the dynamic energy flowing through Turkey’s most energetic city.
