THY will determine the destinations depending on demand.<\/p>\n<p>Expressing his gratitude to THY\u2019s management, Ayd\u0131n however implied that the number of flights is still not enough. \u201cAirlines are extremely important in connecting the world\u2019s markets and more flights are crucial for development in sectors such as tourism as well as increasing the integration of Turkish businessmen with global markets,\u201d he stressed, underlining that as competition in business becomes harder, the need for Turkish businessmen to compete under similar conditions becomes crucially important.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Ayd\u0131n pointed out that Ankara has become much more integrated with neighboring cities with the construction of railroads and highways, which means that more people will want to fly via Ankara.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, THY Chief Executive Officer Hamdi Top\u00e7u expressed on Friday at another meeting that as the carrier increases the number of flights to Africa, commercial figures between the countries in Africa are expected to increase exponentially two to threefold.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NationalTurk<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkish Airlines to add more international flights to Ankara<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"jnews_post_split":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[137,7],"tags":[7876],"class_list":["post-4962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sectoral","category-tourism","tag-turkish-airlines"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4962","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4962"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4962\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8345,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4962\/revisions\/8345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.turizmtatilseyahat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
