Turkish Airlines

Turkish Airlines, founded in 1933 and headquartered in Istanbul, is the flag carrier of Turkey and the airline that flies to more countries than any other carrier in the world. As a member of the Star Alliance, Turkish Airlines operates its primary hub at Istanbul Airport, which opened in 2019 as one of the world's largest aviation facilities with capacity for over 200 million passengers annually. The airline serves over 340 destinations in more than 130 countries, giving it the widest route network of any airline globally. Turkish Airlines' fleet of over 400 aircraft includes Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, Airbus A350-900, Boeing 777-300ER, Airbus A330-300, Boeing 737 MAX, and Airbus A321neo types. The airline's cabin products include Business Class with lie-flat seats on wide-body aircraft, Economy Class with complimentary meals and beverages on all flights, and Comfort Class on select routes. Turkish Airlines' in-flight catering is provided by Turkish DO&CO, a premium catering company, and the airline is known for the quality of its onboard dining. The Istanbul Lounge, the airline's flagship lounge at Istanbul Airport, spans over 5,000 square meters and includes a cinema, library, and golf simulator. Miles&Smiles is the loyalty program with four elite tiers. Istanbul's geographic position at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa gives Turkish Airlines a natural advantage as a sixth-freedom carrier connecting traffic between continents.
