As the world returns to normal, Turkish Airlines has announced its plan to resume scheduled flights to/from United State from July 27th, 2020. After the two months of hiatus, Turkish Airlines is returning to the skies with advanced health and hygiene practices along with the social distancing protocol to ensure passengers safety.
After facing several setbacks, last week Turkish Airlines finally resumed flying to the US following the COVID-19 grounding of flights. They announced that Turkish Airlines will reinstall flights to some US cities, flying to nine destinations with three flights per week.
Since this global health crisis has spread across the globe, airlines have been faced with a dramatic decrease in demand for travel. In addition, several governments shut down borders or even imposed lengthy quarantines to discourage even some of the most daring international travelers. For now, the carrier is working to rebuild its network by resuming scheduled services.
