The additional service will offer passengers more flexibility in travel options, serving rising market demand and enhancing connectivity to and from Colombo via Istanbul.
In a statement, Turkish Airlines revealed the expansion of its services, noting that from 26 October, the flight frequency will escalate to seven flights per week — right on time to cater to the winter tourism season.
The expansion will enhance tourism, trade, and cultural exchanges between the two countries.
After a period of 11 years of service to Sri Lanka, Turkish Airlines has ushered in a new era by inaugurating direct flights from Istanbul to Colombo in October 2023. Previously, the airline had a stopover in Male before arriving in Colombo.
