Turkish Airlines announced an expansion of its transatlantic flights to and from the United States.

Starting on March 26, the airline will increase its non-stop service from Los Angeles International Airport to its hub, Istanbul Atatürk Airport to daily flights.  In addition, the airline will almost double its weekly flights from New York’s John F.

Flights originating in New York will use both Boeing 777 and Airbus A330 aircraft.  Before and after the summer peak season, the airline will offer two non-stops each day from JFK.

In addition to its expansion in the United States, the airline recently launched twice weekly service to Mogadishu, Somalia via Khartoum.  Flights depart Atatürk Airport on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and the return flights are on Wednesdays and Fridays.
