Coupled with this, Turkish Airlines are adding entirely new routes and destinations faster than any other airline in the World. It all sounds promising, except for the fact that there is probably not much demand for three flights a day to the Congo. It seems like expansion for the sake of vanity rather than demand - a dangerous game.

Yes have to agree they have flights to very strange places!

It says Turkish Airlines lost 29.000.000 TL in first 3 months of 2012. Any idea why ?

I guess all in preparation for the Olympics in 2020, just need to win the bid now, fingers crossed.

They gave it to a waiter that they met in a bar in Marmaris because his mother is seriously ill and the hospital wants paid in advance before the operation can proceed ?
