Turkish Airlines has announced that it has added two more nations to its global network by beginning services to Bogota, Columbia’s capital, and Panama City, capital of Panama.
These new points join Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Toronto, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Washington, Boston, Montreal, San Francisco and Miami as Turkish Airlines grows its presence in the Western Hemisphere.
The inaugural flight to Bogota and Panama City was highlighted by M Ilker Ayc?, Turkish Airlines’ chairman of the board and executive committee, with the participation of protocol and media representatives as well as the airline’s employees at El Dorado Airport in Bogota.
Andres Ortega, El Dorado Airport, CEO and Gustauo Him, Panama’s Ministry of Tourism, also welcomed the first flight to these cities.
On the occasion, Ayc? said: “With the launch of the Panama City and Bogota flights, Turkish Airlines has increased its number of destinations in the Americas to 14, strengthening its flight network across Central and South America. We are extremely proud to support our country’s closer co-operation with Colombia as negotiated by our president during his visit to Latin America, by launching this new flight. We will also add Atlanta to our extensive network later this month and continue to expand our reach in the Americas.”
Both cities are home bases to Star Alliance partners, Avianca in Colombia and Copa in Panama, and the link to Istanbul and Turkish Airlines’ network will be of “great benefit to travellers, adding even more connectivity”, the airline has said in a statement.
The Istanbul-Bogota-Panama City flights will be operated three times a week, on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, in both directions. Round-trip fares are available for the route from $699, the statement notes.
For the first six months of operations to new destinations, there is a special offer for Miles&Smiles members, with a 25% reduction in the miles needed to redeem award tickets or upgrades.
Turkish Airlines recently celebrated its 10th year of operations in Doha.
