Airport Turks on new route

AN airline is set to launch a new route between the Capital and Turkey.

Turkish Airlines will begin the service on July 16. It will run four times a week from Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport.

Jim O’Sullivan, managing director of Edinburgh Airport, said: “This is a significant development for Edinburgh Airport and the wider city. Our European traffic has driven much of our growth in the past year and Istanbul is a destination we’ve been working hard to get.”
