TURKEY'S national flag carrier Turkish Airlines wants to strengthen its collaboration with Philippine Airlines (PAL) given the travel sector's recovery.
Turkish Airlines Chairman Ahmet Bolat told a media roundtable on Tuesday that the carrier wants to increase both flight frequencies and the number of destinations as the axis of aviation shifts to the Asian region.'Turkish Airlines and Philippine Airlines have been codeshare partners for eight years now,' he said.'So, our entire network is open for them. We would like to invite them to come to Istanbul.
'The codeshare agreement is a very efficient way for us to extend our network and deploy our aircraft while being financially sustainable for us,' Gaertner added.'Just recently, we announced a partnership with Emirates... in addition to this there are further partnerships in the works with some of the major carriers in Southeast Asia. If they come, we can connect them,' he continued.
