Turkish Airlines has entered a joint venture agreement with Thai Airways in a deal which will better connect Europe and Asia through Istanbul.
The agreement will see Thai Airways run daily flights from Bangkok to Istanbul from December. Currently, Turkish Airlines is the only provider on that route.
Turkish Airlines chief executive Bilal Eksi said: “This agreement represents an important milestone for the co-operation between Turkish Airlines and Thai.
”This collaboration will enhance connectivity between the two regions, provide seamless travel experiences, and offer passengers a wider range of destinations and services through both airlines’ networks.”
Thai Airways chief executive Chai Eamsiri said: “This co-operation will enhance the efficiencies of Thai and Turkish Airlines in terms of connectivity and route network.”
