Turkish Airlines has signed a comprehensive codeshare agreement with South Africa-based Airlink to strengthen its presence in the region.
The partnership was signed on July 14 and will take effect at the beginning of August.
“At Turkish Airlines, we give importance to this cooperation with Airlink which enhances our connectivity in South Africa and the region," said Turkish Airlines chief investment and strategy officer Levent Konukcu. "We aim to improve our partnership to maximise the travel opportunities offered to our guests. We believe that this partnership will not only bring benefits to both carriers from a commercial perspective, but also improve the cultural and tourism relations between the two countries.”
Airlink CEO de Villiers Engelbrecht said: “This collaboration with Turkish Airlines represents a significant opportunity to deepen ties between the two airlines. The agreement is a further endorsement of Airlink’s brand, while for our respective customers, it means more convenient travel options.”
