June 22, the airlines announced their agreement with additional destinations both from Turkish Airlines’ and LOT’s flight network. Bilal Ekşi, Turkish Airlines’ Deputy Chairman & CEO said, “With the introduction of joint flights on several destinations in Poland, Turkey, the Middle East and Africa, passengers would enjoy more travel alternatives through the combined flights. By this chance, I would like to thank Milczarski, his team and our team for their efforts in making this agreement possible. Without a doubt, this agreement will help to increase the commercial and tourism ties of our countries.” Joint flights will offer fast and convenient connections for customers leaving Istanbul, the biggest Turkish city and also an important flight hub in the world, to Warsaw and beyond.”
Rafal Milczarski, CEO & President of the Management Board of LOT Polish Airlines said, “We are very pleased about the enhanced codeshare agreement signed with Turkish Airlines that, as we hope, will strengthen our mutually beneficial cooperation even further. The enhanced partnership with Turkish Airlines will help us not only to expand LOT route network and offer many new attractive destinations to our passengers but also improve connectivity and travel experience on existing codeshare routes beyond Istanbul, such as Ankara, Cairo or Amman. Considering this, I would like to express my gratitude to Bilal and his team for effective and successful cooperation.”
Passengers will also enjoy both domestic and international connections from Istanbul. Moreover, taking into account the complementary structure of timetables of both carriers and agreement working reciprocally, it will allow both airlines’ customers to enjoy seamless connectivity in their respective hubs.
