This is an excellent step for them in the right direction and I hope that we will see these at KLAX in the near future!

This is an awesome news, as we should be able to see these birds in the skies by next year. Alongside with the opening of the new Istanbul Airport in late 2018. It’s nice to see Turkish Airlines’ strategy to ultilize both birds which will help Turkish Airlines to discover more new cities and also to replace some of older A330s. 😊
