Again people are being patronising :
Again people are putting that spotter hats on before their business one.
TK would be good for near East destinations but nowhere that's not already covered by BA or AFKLM save for a few more rustic destinations within Turkey. IST will be just another hub flight (of which NCL has enough of) and will compete with EK and jeopardise the rumoured second daily DXB.
From which perspective are you coming from with the changing of headwear?
BA = one world , AF/KL = Skyteam , EK stand alone alliance, so are you saying a star alliance member (TK) would not want to jeopardise any of this?
