Those awards certify that Turkish Airlines is in the correct path to fulfill its goals.”

In addition, through its wide network of 235 international destinations in 113 countries, Turkish Airlines worked as a bridge for the Greek diaspora all over the world, an important and active part of Greece, but also for business and commercial travelers, allowing them to easily reach partners and new business opportunities.
