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.
