Turkish Airlines Chief Investment and Technology Officer Ahmet Bolat said, “With this agreement, we are committed to providing our passengers with better connection options and taking the passenger experience to a much more comfortable dimension.”

Malaysia Airlines will place its marketing code and flight number on Kuala Lumpur-Istanbul, Ankara (ESB), Antalya (AYT), and İzmir (ADB) v.v. routes operated by Turkish Airlines.

Malaysia Airlines Chief Executive Officer Captain Izham Ismail said, “This codeshare agreement will further bolster the options we provide to our customers. This codeshare will also allow our passengers to travel to the major cities in Turkey, providing them with even more access for their travels. This opens up the opportunity for more tourists to explore Malaysia, as one of the premier holiday destinations in the Asia Pacific region, and we look forward to extending our Malaysian Hospitality further with all who travel with us.”
