At a special press briefing with Ahmet Bolat – Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee – Turkish Airlines, shared that 4.5million passengers travelled onboard Turkish Airlines from the Middle East to Turkiye last year. He reiterated that this year they hope to increase this number by working with the travel trade in a special programme that they are planning and to showcase some of the new attractions which are culturally and historically significant. Another important fact that he mentioned was that there were more bookings on business class seats which shows the rise of luxury travellers from this region.
