Another international airline plans Durban flights

Turkish Airlines will soon become the fourth international airline to launch flights to Durban’s King Shaka International Airport.

Ibrahim Ethem Ozdemir, Turkish Airlines commercial manager, told Tourism Update the airline planned to introduce flights to Durban from October.

Earlier this year, the airline announced it would split its IST-JNB-CPT-IST route from October 26, offering daily flights to both Cape Town and Johannesburg. The Johannesburg route would be linked with Maputo in Mozambique, with a three times weekly onward connection.

Just last month, Qatar Airways announced plans to launch four new weekly flights to Durban (via Johannesburg), starting December 17. Emirates and Air Mauritius are currently the only international airlines flying to the city.
