Turkish Airlines, the national flag carrier of T\u00fcrkiye, and the Latvian airline airBaltic expand their existing codeshare agreement, adding several new destinations to their shared network.
\nSince 2023, the two airlines have jointly operated flights between Istanbul and Riga under a codeshare arrangement. This latest expansion builds on that foundation, allowing both carriers to tap into new markets, broaden their route networks, and enhance connectivity for their passengers. The strengthened collaboration marks another step in extending the global reach of both airlines.
\nUnder the expanded agreement, Turkish Airlines will place its flight code on select airBaltic-operated flights from Riga to Turku (TKU) and Tampere (TMP) in Finland, as well as Palanga (PLQ) in Lithuania.
\nIn return, airBaltic will be allowed to place its flight code on Turkish Airlines-operated routes from Istanbul to the following destinations: Tbilisi (TBS), Batumi (BUS), Ashgabat (ASB), Baku (GYD), Dushanbe (DYU), and Bishkek (FRU). These new routes will be launched following the completion of regulatory approvals.
\nCommenting on the expansion, Turkish Airlines CEO Bilal Ek\u015fi, stated: \u201cWe are pleased to further strengthen our partnership with airBaltic. This expanded codeshare agreement reflects our commitment to offering more travel options and improved connectivity for our passengers. As the airline flying to more countries than any other, we will continue bridging continents and cultures through strategic collaborations and a growing network.\u201d
\nPauls C\u0101l\u012btis, Interim CEO and COO of airBaltic also commented: \u201cWe are glad to take the next step in our partnership with Turkish Airlines. This collaboration provides even more travel opportunities for Baltic passengers through Turkish Airlines\u2019 extensive global network. At the same time, travellers from T\u00fcrkiye can now enjoy greater access to airBaltic\u2019s destinations across the Baltics and Northern Europe. We look forward to continuing this successful cooperation.\u201d
\nAs part of the extended partnership, both airlines will place their respective marketing flight numbers on the newly included routes, in addition to the existing Riga-Istanbul-Riga service. The agreement continues to attract growing passenger numbers, offering seamless travel experiences and improved connectivity through the carriers’ respective hubs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
