Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee Prof. Dr. Ahmet Bolat met with New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon at the Istanbul Airport State Guesthouse. Following the meeting, Prof. Dr. Bolat announced on his social media account that the necessary steps have been taken to start THY's flights to New Zealand. This statement is of great importance in terms of strengthening ties between the two countries and increasing travel opportunities.
“We Will Build a Bridge Between Our Countries”
Prof. Dr. Ahmet Bolat stated that the meeting he had with New Zealand Prime Minister Luxon was positive and made the following statement on his social media account: “As you know, after the flights to Australia we started last year, we are working on the possibility of flights to New Zealand, which fascinates people with its nature. We conveyed these processes to the Prime Minister in our meeting and shared our vision as Turkish Airlines and our excitement for New Zealand. I believe that we will connect New Zealand to the world with Turkish Airlines quality as soon as possible and build a bridge between our countries.” These words clearly demonstrate THY’s determination to start direct flights to New Zealand and the positive contributions this initiative will make to the cultural and economic relations between the two countries. Providing access to the unique natural beauties of New Zealand with THY’s comfortable and high-quality service will also significantly increase the tourism potential.
