The flight network now includes London Stansted Airport as its third destination in the UK capital, following London Heathrow and London Gatwick
Set to operate with 15 weekly frequencies, the Stansted flights will add to the flag carrier’s total weekly frequencies across the UK and Ireland to 168 during the summer schedule, when combined with Dublin.
“The UK continues to be one of the key strategic markets for Turkish Airlines. With the addition of London Stansted flights, we are pleased to expand our presence in London to a third airport, further strengthening London Stansted’s connectivity and offering our guests greater flexibility to access our unparalleled global network. We believe this new route will not only meet regional demand but also contribute to both commercial and tourism activity across the region,” said Fuat Fırat, vice president sales MENA, while speaking on the new route.
London Stansted Airport managing director, Gareth Powell said, “We’re delighted to welcome Turkish Airlines to London Stansted. This is a major milestone for the airport and a strong vote of confidence in both our operation and the vibrant, fast-growing region we serve. Istanbul is a fantastic destination in its own right, but this new service also opens the door to Turkish Airlines’ extensive global network, connecting London Stansted to over 350 destinations, offering passengers and businesses across our region greater choice and easier access to destinations across Asia, Africa, Australia and beyond. We look forward to building a strong partnership with Turkish Airlines and seeing this exciting new route grow.”
