Turkish Airlines and Thai Airways International (THAI) have signed an MOU to move towards a joint venture agreement between the two airlines in Istanbul.

Partnership

THAI will introduce daily service to Istanbul from its hub of Bangkok in December, where it will strengthen the position of THAI as the gateway carrier to Thailand, Asia Pacific region and Australia. Furthermore, this partnership will promote tourism between Türkiye (85 Million population) and Thailand (71 Million population).

Turkish Airlines CEO Bilal Ekşi, said: “This agreement represents an important milestone for the cooperation between Turkish Airlines and THAI as it brings together the rich cultural heritage of Türkiye and Thailand. This collaboration will enhance connectivity between the two regions, provide seamless travel experiences, and offer passengers a wider range of destinations and services through both airlines’ networks.”

Chai Eamsiri, THAI CEO, added: “This cooperation would enhance the efficiencies of THAI and Turkish Airlines in terms of connectivity and route network. Our customers will be able to conveniently travel between Thailand and Türkiye as well as on to Europe and other points in Asia, making full use of the extensive networks offered by THAI and Turkish Airlines.”
