Birmingham: Turkish Airlines Flight Status, Hub News & Discussion

[Matt995]

Remember Before COVID TK did Antalya.Its on Ian’s blog website thingme

Regards to how big connection is.I meant they have big connection in gatherings at events and stuff

Turkish Airlines served Antalya with a late night service during summer 2022, but it didnt last to long, and all the flights were then operated by AnadoluJet not Turkish Arlines, they are more interested now in getting passengers to transit through Istanbul, rather than catering for IT/leisure traffic.

Overall having 4 daily flights is phenomenal

Especially as there are now direct flights to Melbourne and Sydney, with a re-fuelling stop-over at Singapore or Kuala Lumpur

Do they plan to add capacity to make up for the 3rd daily cancellation or is this a return to recommend for PIA

 

[rollo]

Neither, lack of demand.

 

[IanFarquharson]

Down to demand basically, loads generally are down with the Iran war.

As far as I know Pakistan are not back anytime soon.

Think the Iran war until over will scupper most traffic to or near that region for 26 sadly hopefully 2027 things resume

Yes but things change !

 

[Nethercote2019]

The thing about Turkish airlines is they are quick to adjust schedules &/or aircraft types depending on demand.
Unfortunately due to issues in Iran etc demand will be lower currently but twice daily to Istanbul is still good

 

[Paulsstrange]

Agreed overall bhx still doing well with all carriers considering the impact of the conflict👍

Loads going East are weak from all over the UK so no surprise TK are sticking with 2 daily

 

[Finger66]

If reports are to be believed, the US and Israel are about to resume attacks on Iran. Not good for the industry as a whole if that happens

I know you enjoy a soundbite Ian but can we be a little less dramatic and include some context.

Early June and now = 10x Weekly (yes this is pants)
16th June = 13x Weeky
24th June = 14x Weeky
29th June = 16x Weeky (re-introduction of 3rd daily on 2 days)
6th July = 18x Weekly
13th July = 21x Weekly (3x daily throughout summer)

It seems to then cut back to 18x weekly in Sept and down to 14x weekly in winter...

So yes, they have reduced the length of the season they originally planned for 3x daily, but there are 3rd daily flights running throughout June-Oct!!! so far from cancelled!

Sorry - Turkish plans changing quickly, my original post should have read 3rd flight cancelled for part of the Summer. But I understand this may change again as demand isnt great.
