Hour Flights: Turkish Airlines Eyes Brand-New Ultra-Long Route [Map]

Turkish Airlines is planning an ultra-long-haul step in Latin America by eyeing Lima, extending its network with a prospective tenth destination in the region. The carrier announced its intention to launch services to Lima Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM), while providing no timetable or operational details beyond that goal. The move is linked to a broader trend of rising travel demand between Latin America and European markets, and the article notes that existing routes could allow connectivity via another Latin American gateway given current network patterns. In July, Turkish Airlines expects to operate up to ten flights per day across eight gateways, using Boeing 787 Dreamliners and Airbus A350-900 aircraft for long-haul services. According to Cirium, current destinations include Bogotá, Caracas, Cancún, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Ciudad de México, Panamá y Santiago. Havana is suspended due to the ongoing situation and insufficient fuel.
