Türkiye’s flag carrier plans to expand its international connectivity by launching flights to Detroit, Osaka and Australia, Ahmet Bolat, Turkish Airlines (THY) chairman of the board and executive committee, has said.

The carrier ranks first in the world by destination countries, Bolat told a group of journalists at a press gathering where he evaluated the company’s performance and provided details of THY’s plans.

Turkish Airlines this year has already launched flights to Palermo, Krakow and Lusaka, Bolat said, adding that the carrier is putting 10 countries on its radar in order to lure more tourists to Türkiye and to help the country generate more tourism income.

“We are hoping to bring a total of 10 million tourists from Japan, Singapore, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, Australia, Mexico, Canada and the U.S. in the next three years.”

Some $30 billion in revenues could be generated by attracting tourists from those destinations, Bolat said.

As of June, Turkish Airlines was the world’s eighth and Europe’s second largest airline with a share of 2.6 percent in the market, according to the company’s executive.
