Turkish Airlines has announced adjustments to its summer schedule, affecting several US routes next month. The Istanbul-based airline will reduce flight frequencies at four major US airports: Denver International Airport, New York John F. Kennedy International Airport, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and San Francisco International Airport.
According to Cirium, an aviation data analytics firm, these reductions are relatively minor and do not involve dropping any destinations entirely. However, the frequency of flights will be lower in July 2025, which may allow Turkish Airlines to allocate aircraft to more profitable routes.
The decision comes during the busy summer travel season in the United States when transatlantic services typically see high demand. This timing is unusual as airlines often adjust schedules in the fall when travel demand decreases. Notably, Turkish Airlines recently began daily service to Denver this month, suggesting that the route may not be performing as expected.
