Title: Turkish Airlines Announce 200th Destination - Um Bongo Land
Post by: Scunner on August 30, 2012, 19:53:44 PM

Turkish Airlines further expanded its network to Africa on 27 August as the airline connected its Istanbul Atatürk (IST) hub with Kinshasa (FIH), capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Flights operate four times weekly, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, with 151-seat 737-900ER aircraft, increasing to five times weekly after a month’s operations.


Anyone fancy a week in the Congo? No, me neither.

No thanks. I'd probably come back with a dose of the fuzzy-wuzzy's.

Congo what are thinking...

Much the same as what they were thinking when they announced the new destination a few weeks prior to this one - to the capital of Somalia, or as we know it, "war torn Mogadishu".
