Turkish Airlines, the airline that flies to more countries than any other, has added Sydney, the largest city in Australia, to its extensive flight network. As its second destination in Australia, following Melbourne, Turkish Airlines will begin flights to Sydney on December 4, 2024. The Istanbul-Sydney flights will operate four times a week via Kuala Lumpur, using Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
Passengers from the MENA region can enhance their journey through Istanbul with services such as “Stopover Istanbul” – which offers a free hotel stay for layovers of 20 hours or more – or “TourIstanbul,” providing free guided tours of Istanbul’s iconic landmarks for layovers between 6 and 24 hours.
This new route not only strengthens Turkish Airlines’ presence in the continent within its network but also continues to bolster ties between Türkiye and Australia, driving growth in tourism, trade, and cultural exchange.
“We are happy to announce the launch of our Sydney route, which opens another chapter for us in the continent,” Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee, Prof. Ahmet Bolat stated. “This new route not only enhances our flight network but also reaffirms our commitment to our presence in Australia as we connect our guests to new opportunities and experiences with the comfort and hospitality of Turkish Airlines. Sydney will also be our first destination in Australia to have non-stop flights when we receive the aircraft capable of making the journey in a single leg.”
As the largest city in Australia and the capital of New South Wales, Sydney is a major global hub for business, tourism, and the arts. Home to the famous Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, the city offers a unique experience for visitors, whether for business or leisure.
