Overview

Turkish Airlines is the flag carrier of Türkiye, founded in 1933. From its mega-hub at Istanbul Airport (IST) — which moved from the older Atatürk Airport in 2019 — the carrier serves more countries than any other airline in the world, reaching over 340 destinations across six continents.

The fleet is one of the most diverse of any major carrier: Airbus A319 / A320 / A321 family and Boeing 737 (including MAX 8 / 9) for short-haul, Boeing 777-300ER, Airbus A330-300 and A350-900 / -1000 for long-haul, and Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. The single Istanbul hub and central geography give Turkish a uniquely efficient transit network for one-stop connections.

Turkish is a member of Star Alliance (since 2008) and operates extensive codeshare arrangements with United, Lufthansa, and other partners. The carrier has used its hub geography to build connections between Europe / Africa and Asia / Oceania that other long-haul carriers can't match on price or frequency.

Miles&Smiles is the loyalty programme — status tiers from Classic to Elite Plus, with redemptions across Star Alliance and a growing co-branded card portfolio. Turkish's long-haul Business cabin features the celebrated "Flying Chef" service.
