As of May 16, Turkish Airlines added a daily flight to Atlanta, joining Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Panama, Bogota, Toronto, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Washington, Boston, Montreal, San Francisco and Miami as the carrier’s 15th destination in the Americas.
With Atlanta becoming the ninth US gateway for Turkish Airlines, momentum continues for the carrier as it expands its presence in the US offering 70 flights per week and providing one-stop connections to 289 destinations and 115 countries through its Istanbul hub.
Ahmet Olmustur, chief marketing officer of Turkish Airlines, said: “Turkish Airlines has become one of the world’s premier airlines constantly adding to its network and making significant strategic investments that continually enhance its range and product offer. This significant launch reinforces Turkish Airlines as a global leader in aviation with an internationally known brand helping passengers widen their world. The addition of the Atlanta gateway means that we will now be connecting business and leisure travelers through our Istanbul hub more efficiently and to more destinations than any other airline via one-stop connection through the world’s most traveled airport, Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson International Airport.”
“We are pleased to welcome Turkish Airlines as the newest carrier to Atlanta, solidifying the Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport not only as the world’s busiest airport but also the gateway to the world,” said Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.
“The new route will open a wide range of business and tourism opportunities to a vast array of global destinations served by the leading carrier,” he added.
Passengers between Istanbul and Georgia’s capital will be able to enjoy special roundtrip fares. Additionally, up until the end of October, Miles&Smiles members will enjoy a 25 percent mileage discount when redeeming miles on the route or a 25 percent bonus on paid tickets as well as the opportunities for upgrades.
