Big news on the international air service front. Turkish Airlines is looking to provide nonstop flights between their megahub in Istanbul, and DTW.
While this is obviously big news for anyone wishing to travel to/from Turkey, it is equally big news for folks traveling to the Middle East or India. Turkish Airlines globally offers service to more countries than any other airline, and Istanbul is an easy connecting point for folks heading to visit friends or relatives in those Indian or MiddleEastern destinations that might otherwise require more stops. More so, this will hopefully bring some competition and lower prices, as Delta tends to dominate the Transatlantic market, sans a couple flights by Lufthansa and Royal Jordanian.
Regardless, it would connect another dot on DTW’s international map, and bring a bit of Detroit to a new corner of the world. Hope they can find success here.
