Great news for travelers between China and Turkey! Turkish Airlines (TK), the flag carrier of Türkiye, and Air China Limited (CA), the flag carrier of the People’s Republic of China, have joined forces in a new codeshare agreement.
This exciting partnership signifies a major step forward in their longstanding collaboration. Initially, the agreement will offer codeshare flights between Istanbul and Beijing, providing passengers with more travel options and greater flexibility.
Benefits for Passengers and the Industry
The new “freesale” model allows both airlines to sell seats on each other’s flights under their own flight codes. This means more choices and potentially better fares for travelers looking to fly between these two important destinations.
The agreement goes beyond just offering more flights. It strengthens the connection between China and Turkey, fostering tourism and economic exchange. Passengers can expect a smoother travel experience and new opportunities for cultural and business interactions. Both airlines anticipate a significant increase in passenger traffic as a result of this collaboration, benefiting not only themselves but also the wider aviation industry.
