    Türkiye, Latvia's Flag Carriers Sign Codeshare Agreement to Expand Their Networks

    (MENAFN) Turkish Airlines and airBaltic have entered into a codeshare agreement to expand the destinations in their respective networks. The deal, which began on May 1, enables both carriers to offer more flexibility to their passengers on direct flights between Türkiye and Latvia. Under the agreement, Turkish Airlines and airBaltic will place their marketing flight numbers on each Riga-Istanbul flight and vice versa.

    According to Turkish Airlines, the partnership aims to welcome more visitors from Latvia to the unique geography of Türkiye, which has cradled many civilizations throughout history, while also encouraging travel from Türkiye to the fascinating city of Riga. The codeshare agreement also allows local Baltic travelers to benefit from the wide network of Turkish Airlines globally, while local travelers in Türkiye can enjoy a great variety of airBaltic's destinations in Europe and beyond, according to airBaltic CEO Martin Gauss.

    Earlier this year, airBaltic announced that it would launch a total of 20 new routes from Riga, Tallinn, Vilnius, and Tampere this summer, including four weekly flights to Istanbul. This new destination is in line with the company's strategy to expand its network and offer more travel options to its customers.

    Turkish Airlines, on the other hand, currently operates 414 aircraft and flies to 343 destinations globally, with 290 international and 53 domestic destinations. The codeshare agreement with airBaltic is expected to strengthen Turkish Airlines' position in the Baltic region and increase its passenger traffic between Türkiye and Latvia.

    Overall, the codeshare agreement between Türkiye and Latvia's flag carriers is expected to enhance travel options for passengers, facilitate seamless connections, and promote tourism between the two countries. The partnership is also a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the airline industry, which continues to find innovative ways to expand and improve its services despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
