Turkish Airlines will offer flights to world famous touristic spot, the Thai island of Phuket, in the summer, said the company’s manager in Thailand on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Turkish Airlines executive in Thailand, Abdullah Ahmet Tugcu told journalists that the first flight to Phuket from Istanbul will be on July 17.<\/p>\n
“We will open Phuket line this year. Our first expedition from Istanbul to Phuket will be on July 17,” Tugcu said, adding that there would be four flights a week.<\/p>\n
In addition, Tugcu said that Turkish Airlines offered 14 flights a week to the capital of Thailand, Bangkok, and two flights a day.<\/p>\n
Turkish Airlines manager in Thailand said passengers could also fly the Bangkok-Saigon line via Turkish Airlines.<\/p>\n
He said the abolishment of tourist visas between Turkey and Thailand in 2012 had considerably boosted passenger traffic.<\/p>\n
“As of November, we scheduled two flights in a day in the winter season for the first time,” Tugcu added.<\/p>\n
Turkish Airlines flies to 116 countries, more than any other airline.<\/p>\n
Turkey’s flag carrier currently has 337 aircraft and flies to 298 destinations — 249 international and 49 domestic.<\/p>\n
Turkish Airlines was chosen as Europe’s Best Airline for the sixth time and the Best Airline in Southern Europe for the eighth consecutive time in a 2016 Skytrax survey.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
