Turkish Airlines to grow operations across former Yugoslavia

Turkish Airlines plans to increase frequencies on several routes in the region during the 2024 summer season, which begins on March 31 of next year, but has ruled out the introduction of flights to Banja Luka following talks with airports officials. Apart from its recently announced plans to boost operations to Zagreb from fourteen to eighteen weekly, Turkish will also increase services on its other destination in Croatia - Dubrovnik - from the five weekly rotations operated during the summer of 2023, to daily. The additional service on Mondays and Wednesdays will be introduced from March 31. Turkish Airlines will increase flights from Istanbul to both Podgorica and Tivat after signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Air Montenegro earlier this year, enabling both flag carriers to grow their frequencies in each other’s markets. The Turkish carrier will initially increase operations between Istanbul and Podgorica from double daily to seventeen weekly, growing to eighteen weekly from mid-August. Similarly, it will boost frequencies on flights to Tivat, which it launched this summer, from six weekly to nine weekly, increasing to ten weekly from mid-August.<br/>
