Turkish Airlines has been recognized by Guinness World Records for flying to the most countries of any airline. This achievement follows the launch of new routes, including a recent addition to Santiago, Chile. The airline has maintained its position as the world's most internationally connected carrier for over ten years, operating through its hub at Istanbul Airport.
The official recognition was awarded at Santiago Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport in the presence of Turkish Airlines executives and Guinness World Records officials. The record was set with flights to 120 countries over the past year, according to evaluation criteria that consider active routes. Including temporarily suspended routes and new flights to Chile, Turkish Airlines now serves 131 countries across six continents.
CEO Bilal Ekşi expressed his satisfaction with this accomplishment: "We are delighted to be in Santiago, Chile, our newest route launched today, and to receive the Guinness World Records title for the Most Countries Flown to by an Airline."
