Turkish Daily News 19 Aralik 2006
Turkish Airlines (THY) is planning to launch market research for direct flights from Britain and Russia to Antalya.
Antalya Trade and Industry Chamber Board (ATSO) Chairman Kemal Özgen declared that one of the most important problems of Antalya tourism is the lack of scheduled direct flights. He said that lack of direct flights is an obstacle to the expansion of congress, golf, health and culture tourism throughout the year.
He added: “THY management has already started research into countries such as Britain and Russia. For that purpose on Dec. 20-21 we will meet with travel agency officials to measure the potential of direct flights and ask their support.”
Özgen said Mediterranean Touristic Hotels Association (AKTOB) President Osman Ayık will also participate in the meeting and will support the initiative. “Our aim is to expand direct flights to other countries and to meet the needs of Antalya tourism,” he said.
