About Turkish Airlines
Turkish Airlines (IATA: TK) holds the distinction of flying to more countries than any other airline in the world — 130+ countries and 340+ destinations from its hub at Istanbul Airport (IST). Founded in 1933, Turkish Airlines has grown from a small regional carrier to one of the world's leading international airlines, operating a modern fleet of 400+ Airbus and Boeing wide-body and narrow-body jets across six continents.
Istanbul's geographical position between Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa makes it an ideal connection hub, allowing Turkish Airlines to offer competitive transit fares and often-shorter travel times than routing via Western European hubs. Turkish Airlines is consistently rated among the world's top airlines for Economy catering quality. FareOptic compares TK fares across all routes to find your best deal.
