Europe's sixth-largest airline suspends all flights to 18 destinations in update
Turkish Airlines has suspended flights to 18 destinations effective between May and June 2026, citing declining demand for less popular routes. The suspensions will impact flights across Europe, Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East.
Turkish Airlines, Europe's sixth-largest airline, has cancelled 18 international routes from May 2026. The suspended destinations include Juba, Kinshasa, Luanda, Lusaka, Aqaba, Billund, Bissau, Ferghana, Freetown, Havana, Hurghada, Kirkuk, Leipzig/Halle, Libreville, Monrovia, Najaf, Pointe Noire, and Turkistan. The decision is part of a strategic review, focusing on high-demand routes. Some suspended routes won't resume until late October 2026 or March 2027. The airline continues to operate numerous flights to the UK, including London Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted, as well as Manchester, Birmingham, and Edinburgh. Turkish Airlines has also added London Stansted as its third London gateway, expanding its UK network to serve over 350 destinations across 133 countries.
