With the service going to daily from June 9, 2025, the airline will deploy an Airbus A350-900 on the route. Representing almost 1,000 extra seats in each direction each week (96 business, and 891 economy class depending on the two types of A350-900 configuration TK operates).

Turkish Airlines has no plans to slow down, with many new US destinations poised to join the carrier network already. The Star Alliance carrier serves Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, New York JFK, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington DC and faces no direct competition on any of these routes from any other carrier.


Some of our eagle-eyed readers have already suggested that TK could soon serve Philadelphia or Charlotte as the airline continues its US expansion. Read more about it below:

While it started with the bog-standard three times weekly frequency and quickly rose to four times weekly, it will become daily in June 2025.This development means all its US routes will have at least one daily flight, with 24 daily flights. As always, this is subject to change, including the announcement of new routes.While Turkish Airlines has previously said it will fly to Orlando at some point, what other US destinations join its network?

While Charlotte Douglas International Airport and Philadelphia International Airport are poised to be the front runners, it’s anyone’s guess on where could be next.

Only time will tell.

Turkish Airlines also made headlines earlier this year when it began its long-awaited service to Australia. The airline currently serves Melbourne Airport via Singapore but plans to serve Sydney via Kuala Lumpur starting December 5.

North of the border, in Canada, Turkish Airlines is also steadily growing its Canadian network, with services to Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (Quebec), Toronto Pearson International Airport (Ontario), and Vancouver International Airport (British Columbia), all three can still serve as an alternative gateway for American passengers, given all three airports proximity to the US border.
