Turkish Airlines, the airline that flies to more countries than any other in the world, has added London Stansted Airport to its flight network as its third destination in the UK capital, following London Heathrow and London Gatwick.
With the launch of Stansted flights, which will be operated with 15 weekly frequencies, the flag carrier’s network in the United Kingdom has expanded to six destinations, following London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Birmingham, Manchester, and Edinburgh. When combined with Dublin, the flag carrier’s total weekly frequencies across the United Kingdom and Ireland will reach 168 during the summer schedule.
At the inauguration ceremony held at London Stansted Airport, executives from Turkish Airlines and London Stansted Airport highlighted the significance of the new route.
On the launch of the new route, Turkish Airlines Vice President Sales (Middle and Northern Europe) Fuat Fırat, stated: “The United Kingdom continues to be one of the key strategic markets for Turkish Airlines. With the addition of London Stansted flights, we are pleased to expand our presence in London to a third airport, further strengthening London Stansted’s connectivity and offering our guests greater flexibility to access our unparalleled global network. We believe this new route will not only meet regional demand but also contribute to both commercial and tourism activity across the region.”
London Stansted Airport Managing Director Gareth Powell said: “We’re delighted to welcome Turkish Airlines to London Stansted. This is a major milestone for the airport and a strong vote of confidence in both our operation and the vibrant, fast-growing region we serve. Istanbul is a fantastic destination in its own right, but this new service also opens the door to Turkish Airlines’ extensive global network, connecting London Stansted to over 350 destinations, offering passengers and businesses across our region greater choice and easier access to destinations across Asia, Africa, Australia and beyond. We look forward to building a strong partnership with Turkish Airlines and seeing this exciting new route grow.”
