Turkish Airlines, known for serving more countries than any other airline, expanded its network significantly in 2024. New destinations included Denver, Melbourne, Mersin (replacing Adana), Santiago de Chile, Sydney (now the carrier's longest route), Turin, and Tripoli Mitiga. In early 2025, flights to Benghazi and Damascus resumed, with Ohrid service starting in March.
While not officially announced yet, Auckland and Minneapolis are anticipated to join Turkish Airlines' network this year. If Auckland is added, it may be served via Singapore as a one-stop service or non-stop when A350-1000s arrive. This would make it the world's longest non-stop operation.
According to booking data from October 2024, approximately 37 million passengers connected between two Turkish Airlines flights at Istanbul Airport over a year. The airline benefits from a large domestic market and a strategically located hub that supports extensive use of narrowbody aircraft on long routes.
