[Turkey]: Message for Australia

[Zak]

​

Recipient: Shane Carmody, Director of Aviation Safety, Civil Aviation Safety Authority Turkish Airlines provides itself on providing routes to different destinations around the world, we currently operate to over three hundred destinations around the world but we currently do not operate to Australia and that is why I am writing to you today to gain the approval to begin daily flights to different cities around Australia using our new advanced Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 fleet. This comes with the added benefit that we will be seeking to hire ground crew and flight crews of Australian origin to further increase the capabilities across our network. We also have the backing of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and will be able to offer Australian carriers the chance to fly to Turkey if required. ________________________ İlker Aycı Chairman of the Board, Turkish Airlines Ayyildiz Bolukbasi Director of the Strategy Development Department, Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure​
