Two new routes to Russia through Turkish Airlines
Turkish Airlines has launched two new flight destinations in Russia, routes that further open up the country to South Africans using the daily direct flights from Cape Town and Johannesburg to Istanbul. The airline also flies from Durban via Johannesburg.
In addition to Moscow, St.Petersburg, Sochi, Rostov, Kazan, Ekaterinburg, Ufa, Astrakhan, Novosibirsk and Stavropol, the carrier will now also operate direct flights to Voronezh and Samara in Russia.
Turkish Airlines is going to increase capacity in Russia by operating three flights per week between Istanbul–Samara and Istanbul–Voronej instead of Astrakhan and Novosibirsk which are currently operated as two flights per week.
Istanbul–Voronej v.v. flights will be started on 4 April 2017 and Istanbul-Samara v.v. flights will be launched on 11 April 2017.
