Turkish Airlines will launch its inaugural flight to Mexico on August 21, 2019 with a triangle route from Istanbul (IST) to Mexico City (MEX) and Cancun (CUN). The route will operate three times a week and passengers will be the first to experience the airline’s new B787-9 aircraft, which debuts its latest Business Class.
The Mexico City – Istanbul route will be operated from Turkish Airlines’ new home at Istanbul Airport, slated to be the world’s largest once all phases are completed. The newly-opened hub, which will eventually serve up to 200 million passengers a year, will play an important role in the future of Turkey’s aviation sector as global aviation shifts eastwards, with Istanbul at the centre. The smart and innovative design of the airport, already the recipient of many design awards, will allow a streamlined travel experience for travellers flying with Turkish Airlines to enjoy the widest global network.
