Under the new partnership, Turkish Airlines will place its TK flight code on SAA-operated flights across several of Africa’s most vital destinations. This expansion provides Turkish Airlines’ guests with effortless access to: Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban; Port Elizabeth and Windhoek; Harrare, Victoria Falls, and Mauritius.
Conversely, South African Airways will place its SA code on selected Turkish Airlines flights connecting Istanbul with Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban, as well as major European hubs including Frankfurt, Paris, and London.
Prof. Ahmet Bolat, Chairman of Turkish Airlines, commented: “Our codeshare agreement with South African Airways is a meaningful step in further strengthening our presence in the African market. As the largest non-African airline operating on the continent, we attach great importance to partnerships that cultivate long-term value for our guests.”
