Turkish Airlines gradually rebuilding Middle East network

Dhaka: Turkish Airlines has resumed flights to Abu Dhabi as part of a broader restoration of its Middle East network following a temporary suspension of services.

The Istanbul-based carrier restarted Abu Dhabi flights on July 1, while services to Dammam are set to resume on July 10, followed by Kuwait on July 11 and Bahrain on July 16.

The resumptions follow the restart of Dubai operations on June 9. Later, the airline also raised its Dubai frequency from seven to 14 weekly flights, effective June 25.

Amman services increased from 14 to 21 weekly flights effective June 19, while Beirut flights rose from 21 to 28 weekly services starting July 1.

Turkish Airlines said the resumptions will help reconnect travelers across the Middle East with its wider global network through Istanbul.

The airline currently serves more than 350 destinations across Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas.
