Morning all. Just noticed on airline route that Turkish Airlines are due to launch service between STN and ESB (Ankara) on 12th June. I was aware that they had originally intended AnadoluJet to operate this service from 30th March, but it seems now that Turkish (mainline) will be stepping in to operate this route instead (currently remains unclear as per the airline route press note whether AnadoluJet or Turkish metal will be operating this route). Would be absolutely fantastic news if true- STN has not seen TK since they last served STN-IST in 2009, so it'll be nice to welcome them back to the airport.
