Turkish Airlines (TK), founded in 1933, is Turkey’s national full-service airline and a member of the Star Alliance (partnering with Lufthansa, United Airlines, and ANA). Headquartered in Istanbul, it’s known for its global network centered on Istanbul—making it a top choice for transit between Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Turkish Airlines’ only main hub is Istanbul Airport (IST, the new international airport). It serves over 340 destinations across 120+ countries—more than most airlines—covering Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, and South America.
