Turkey Airlines has boosted the number
of daily flights to New York JFK to four, the highest frequency ever. The extra
service, starting mid-July, features "interesting" hours, such
as a daylight flight from JFK back to Istanbul. The Star Alliance airline has
five daily flights to Greater New York City when Newark is included.
Between July 12 and August 7, Turkish Airlines will add 25 weekly flights, including overnight service to JFK. Only until October 28th, when the northern summer season ends, can reservations be made for the overnight service. Between July and October, TK111, with Air France AF22 arriving at 10:40, is the only European flight to arrive at JFK for several hours. Only a few other daytime services cross the North Atlantic, mostly to London, the Azores, and Iceland.
Turkish Airlines' 23:45 departure from JFK will assist customers in
transferring to subsequent flights and add space for more profitable point-to-point (P2P)
travelers. Turkish Airlines' international arrival bank
is by far the busiest just before midnight, with over 50 destinations in the
Middle East, Central Asia, Northeast, and Southern Africa, and portions of Asia.
With 540,000 people traveling from JFK/Newark to Istanbul last year, Istanbul-NYC is a significant P2P market. The most popular international market was greater NYC to wider Turkey, followed by Israel, Pakistan, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Russia, India, and Kosovo. Due to Istanbul's geographic location, Turkish Airlines' extensive network, frequent flights, affordable prices, high-quality offerings, and frequently brief layovers, more than 140,000 passengers from New York City traveled on Turkish Airlines to or from the Balkans, Russia, and the Caucasus in 2022. At the municipal level, Tel Aviv had the biggest market.
