Turkish Airlines
The national flag carrier of Turkey, Turkish Airlines was founded in 1933 by the government of Turkey, starting life with just five, four and one-seater planes. In 1945, the first Douglas DC-3 was used on their first international flight from Ankara to Istanbul to Athens and has gone from strength to strength ever since, becoming part of the Star Alliance in 2006. With headquarters based in Atatürk Airport in Istanbul, Turkish Airlines now operates scheduled flights to nearly 300 destinations throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and the USA, including flights to Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
