Turkish plans permanent Cape Town service
The seasonality of the Cape Town market remains the biggest challenge for international airlines wanting to operate year-round daily flights to the Mother City.
Speaking to Tourism Update at Turkish Airlines’ annual golf event at Pearl Valley golf course in Franschhoek, Kenan Ince, Cape Town GM of Turkish Airlines, said while demand to Cape Town and passenger volumes had significantly increased in recent months, the airline would still switch back to servicing Cape Town through Johannesburg and Durban at the end of March, after flying directly to the city since the end of October last year.
