Indications suggest that TK1492/1493 will be returning from May next year.

I will reply to your post User001, just so that you are not alone on this MAN thread.

IS THERE ANYBODY THERE ? 🤔

 

[Scottie Dog]

The problem with User001 is that he has such deep sources of information!!

We would be a much poorer forum without his input.

 

[Dobbo]

Indeed, and good to hear TK are back on expansion mode. Btw- what price for them to move to T2?

 

[Aceshigh]

I think it's safe to assume that we are all here reading but only speak when we have something to say.

User has more to say than others.

 

[Land23R]

Quite right Aces. My impression Brum X is that on your BHX forum someone drops a hint about a possible new route and it leads to 3 pages of speculation. Nothing wrong with that if it's what readers enjoy but perhaps we are a little more patient here on the MAN forum. 🙂

What I will say is that it's great when a forum does have someone like User (or Ian F for BHX) with insider information even if they can't always disclose full details for reasons of confidentiality of information not yet in the public domain.

Back to topic. Good news if TK are reintroducing a 3rd frequency on some days. Turkey is an important market so
after the downturn it's reassuring if demand is picking up again. TK also offer lots of transfer possibilities of course.

A330 on the PM flight 19th Oct.

Only some J class seats left on a few other flights too, so could see an A330 added there too.

 

[User001]

More A330's planned in.

20-23 Dec on the PM flight
1-5 Jan on PM flight also.

B77W on the afternoon flight 16/12/17

Sometime ago I paid for a "like/thanks" modification especially for that reason. If somebody appreciate a post but maybe they have nothing more to add but they can still send a quick thanks for the post to show the author appreciation. It's also imbed into the photo gallery but rarely do people use it.

 

[User001]

A330 on morning flight 13/14 Dec too

 

[User001]

TK A330 use has been extended again in Dec/Jan. To recap:

Dec:
13 sees A330 on morning flight
14 sees A330 on afternoon flight
16th sees B77W on afternoon flight
19-24 sees A330 on afternoon flight
27 A330 PM flight

Jan:
1st sees double daily A330
2-7 sees A330 on PM flight.

Likely to be more added given the price and loading of so,e other fligts.

Any news of third flight coming back

 

[User001]

Not seen the schedules yet but been told it's coming back from about May time.

 

[Dobbo]

It is incredible how quickly the airline industry rebounds from geopolitical issues. Turkish and The MEB3 starting to replace capacity lost, QR's reaction to the political dispute in the Middle East, and the way airlines are replacing lost Monarch capacity.

I'm not au fait with Air Berlin's situation, but that feels like it's moving quickly. Alitalia feels like it's in a permanent state of limbo, perpetually loosing money.

Turkish Airlines will use the A330 on the TK1995/1996 this summer 3 times a week (Mon/Wed/Fri) and the A321 on the other flights

Trying to think of the last time we had a sustained period of widebodied scheduled flights by a European (non-British) airline (as opposed to charter services and the ad-hoc ones like Icelandair). They've been few and far between.. Swissair started A310 ops in 1987, KLM had A310s on Monday mornings and Friday lunchtimes in the early 1980s (they were DC8 services!) and what I believe to be the last ones.. Aer Lingus with their winter 1994/1995 service with A330s to Shannon and New York (EI112/EI111)

 

[ethanegcc]

It’s certainly quite a nice achievement. Hopefully some 777s may be thrown in there too.

 

[David_itl]

Given the extent of ad-hoc A330s ops in December, I do wonder if they will decide to operate 3 weekly A330s on TK1995 throughout the whole of the month. I wonder if/when the plan to add back the extra 5 weekly services will come true.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Turkish will up 24 various dates from A321 to A330/B777 during Jul/Aug/Sep. This is in addition to the planned A330 Mon, Wed, Fri on the afternoon service.
