By strengthening our presence at Istanbul Airport, Turkey's largest air transportation hub opening to the world, we have started to offer our guests more flexibility and easy access towards both Istanbul and Northern Cyprus. With the addition of Istanbul Airport, we are now the airline with the most flights between Turkey and Northern Cyprus, flying from a total of 11 different points. We will continue to strengthen this important role we undertake in transportation between Turkey and TRNC and support the tourism development of Cyprus.”
