Turkish Airlines launches Melbourne...

Carrier now operates three weekly flights to the coastal capital of Victoria

Turkish Airlines has launched three weekly flights to Melbourne.

The Turkish flag carrier's new route to the coastal capital of the southeastern Australian state of Victoria will be operated via Singapore, with special introductory prices. Until 15 March 2024, passengers can fly from Istanbul to Melbourne for US$1,199 and from Melbourne to İstanbul for US$999.

The new route is part of the airline’s growth strategy, which will see it expand operations to six continents covering 346 destinations in 130 countries, serviced by a fleet of 450 aircraft.

Turkish Airlines chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee Ahmet Bolat said: "Australia, with its breathtaking landscapes and warm-hearted people, now becomes the 130th country to join our expansive network, signifying our presence across six continents."

Melbourne Airport CEO Lorie Argus added: "Turkish Airlines has an extensive network and flies to more countries than any other airline so this new competitor in the Australian market is fantastic news for consumers. We’ve worked closely with the Victorian State Government to bring Turkish Airlines to Melbourne.

"Increased competition helps put downward pressure on prices, which will ensure Victorian residents and businesses can stay connected with family, friends and clients around the world. Melbourne is proudly home to the largest Turkish population in Australia, so we expect these flights will prove particularly popular with people looking to visit friends and relatives."
