Turkish Airlines Continues to Restore Its Operations in the Middle East

Turkish Airlines, the airline that flies to more countries than any other in the world, will return to four daily Dubai–Istanbul flights from September 1, 2026, bringing the route back to its schedule and reinforcing one of the busiest links between the UAE and Türkiye. At the same time, services between Abu Dhabi and Istanbul will increase from four to seven flights per week, offering passengers greater flexibility and more travel options between the two countries with daily flights.

The increased frequencies will provide both business and leisure travellers with a wider choice of departure times and enhanced onward connectivity through Istanbul, Turkish Airlines’ global hub. From Istanbul, passengers can seamlessly connect to more than 350 destinations across Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas.

Strategically positioned at the crossroads of East and West, Istanbul serves as a natural global connecting point, enabling travelers from the UAE to reach destinations across six continents through Turkish Airlines’ extensive international network.
