THY's New Route: Direct Flights from Istanbul to Melbourne

Turkish Airlines is known as the flag carrier airline that flies to 130 countries and 346 destinations on 6 continents. Now he is taking a new step on the Australian continent, flying to the city of Melbourne. Starting from
March 1, 2024, Turkish Airlines will operate flights on the route Istanbul Airport-Singapore Changi Airport-Melbourne Airport. With this new route, Turkish Airlines will carry thousands of visitors to Melbourne, contributing to increasing the volume of tourism and trade between Istanbul and Melbourne.
However, with Singapore connecting flights, Turkish Airlines will also win the title of being the only European airline flying to Melbourne Airport. This stands out as a step taken by Turkish Airlines to expand its global network. Prof. Dr. Ahmet Bolat, Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee of Turkish Airlines, said regarding the opening of this new line: “Today is a big day for us. We are fulfilling our goal of reaching Australia and we are proud to connect Istanbul with Australia, the 6th continent of the world. Flights to Melbourne not only strengthen our presence in the Asia-Pacific region, but also demonstrate our commitment to connecting the people and cultures of the world. Australia will be the 130th country and 6th continent under our wings with its natural beauty and hospitable people. While offering our guests the possibility of transcontinental travel, we strive to improve the quality of our service every day.”
Melbourne is known as the capital and most populous city of the Australian state of Victoria. This city, which attracts tourists with its cultural richness and sports events, will become even more accessible with the new route of Turkish Airlines.
