Turkish Airlines will launch its first ever flight to Mexico on August 21, 2019 with a triangle route from Istanbul to Mexico City and Cancun.

The new route will be operated three times a week using the airline’s new Boeing 787-9 aircraft, which debuts a new Business Class offering.

The Mexico City-Istanbul route will be operated from Turkish Airlines' new home at the Istanbul Airport, slated to be the world’s largest once all phases are completed.

The smart and innovative design of the new airport will allow a streamlined travel experience for travellers flying with Turkish Airlines to enjoy the widest global network.

In addition to the service to Mexico, Turkish Airlines will launch flights to six new destinations in 2019 including Marrakesh, Sharjah, Port Sudan, Bali, Luxor and Rovaniemi.

Last year, the airline introduced flights to Freetown, Samarqand, Aqaba, Krasnodar, Moroni, Banjul and Lusaka.
