Last Tuesday, Turkish Airlines began nonstop service between Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and Istanbul’s Atatürk International Airport (IST). The airline currently operates the route four times weekly using Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, with frequency scheduled to increase to six weekly flights starting July 3.
In addition to the new Houston link, Turkish Airlines serves several other major U.S. gateways, including Chicago (ORD), Los Angeles (LAX), New York (JFK) and Washington, D.C. (IAD). The carrier connects those cities to its global network, flying to destinations across more than 90 countries worldwide.
