Largest offer

Opened in 2018, it is major airport and acts as a hub that offers our passengers a wide range of connecting flights, for instance, to Asia, Africa and other destinations in Turkey. But the city and its historic buildings is also very popular among city travellers," said Dirk Behrens, Head of Aviation at Hamburg Airport.

The airport on the Asian side of Istanbul will then be served five times a week to meet rising demand.

More destinations from summer

Turkish Airlines is expanding its services for home and family travellers from Hamburg and will offer direct flights to six other airports in Turkey from June 26, 2022 to August 2022. Turkish Airlines had ramped up its operations early in 2020 and is now one of the largest airlines at Hamburg Airport in terms of passenger volume.
