I'm from Melbourne. I'm happy to see Turkish Airlines start to fly from Melbourne. Airport in Melbourne, Turkish Airlines greats travellers with huge billboard pictures.👏👏
Excellent expert you had on! I learned a few things from him like the Australian mining industry and the bug Africa 🌍 mining potential and Turkish Airlines business travellers connection ✌🏻
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regions are not the same as geographical regions as ICAO takes FIR lines and airline connections as its basis.

So did Alitalia. I think there are far more profitable routes now within Europe, the US and Asia for long haul flights. Add to this competition from airlines such as those of the oil producing countries operated by rulers who own the airlines as well as the oil wells.
05:45 "...clever move..."? Istanbul is bursting due to it's population density. Every corner of the city is unstandable of being overcrowded. The buildings, leaving no space to breath, the traffic, the noise, the tourists. While other cities are trying to get rid of the overtourism, Turkiye pulls them in tons into the city. The quality of living in İstanbul is unstandable. How about reducing the cheap tourism. Having less guests, rising the living quality of the cities and attracting more high priced tourism instead of the masses of locust (or lowcost) tourism.
British Airways once flew to Australia, but not for some time now. I remember Olympic used to fly to Australia and I’m quite sure other Europeans , such as Alitalia , also flew here at a time.
@@darrencarnes3457 oh yeah if we go that far back then yes. Olympic used to fly to Melbourne but stopped about 22 years ago. Also KLM/Alitalia/Lauda - all had flights at some point into Australia. But the title of the video is a little misleading since there has been other European carriers that have flown there in the past.
@@batuhan4121 This is like saying France is part of North America because the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon because they are 19km from Canada and on the N. American continental shelf. It is my understanding 3% of Turkey's land mass is in continental Europe. So 3% makes them European? Over 6% of the USA have identified themselves as Asian. Does this mean America is an Asian country?
The population of Turkiye living in European part is larger than most European countries, the part of Turkiye in Europe is larger than lots of European countries. You can write "Turkiye is not European" in your diary and cry everyday. Turkiye is both Asian and European. I say this after seeing 20 European countries.
@@oguzb.7033 I'm responding to the title Turkish Airlines Becomes the First European Carrier"..... The only people who genuinely consider Turks Euros are the people who do not know the history or Euro wannabees in Asia Minor. Population numbers does not make a country European or not. Germany has a much larger population than Lichtenstein, both are equally European because they are in Europe (unlike Turkey... 3% is a rounding error). I'd expect if Europe were spiraling into an economic death-spiral, the "we are European" club in Asia Minor would disappear pretty quickly.
@@nameless_no_name According to geography, Turkish airlines is settled in Europe (European part of Istanbul), scientifically Turkish Airlines is European, you say "consideration", i say science, i don't understand your problems.
"Turkish Airlines Becomes the First European Carrier to Fly to Melbourne". No. If it's Turkish it's Asian, not European. Besides, if you insist on calling that country by the ridiculous name of "Türkiye" in English, then make it "Tükiyeish Airlines". Be logical!
Your right..... sooner or later the EU & NATO will ask Pakistan and India to join lol And Turkey is a Muslim country and doesn't fit with European Christian culture and values. And if you think we are having a bad immigration problem in the last 10-15 years in Europe (which we are).... imagine letting Turkey join the EU with it's borders with Syria Iraq Iran hahahaha

Wow turkey is getting popular
Turkey was always popular for a long time 😊
Turkey is 4th visited destination on earth!!!
Istanbul is an awesome city Good news.
I am so proud of Türkiye, there are also many new small airports throughout the country, for exemple Rize, check out its control tower 👍
This has to be good for everyone.
Tesekkurler 🇹🇷❤️🌹🌷
Istanbul is indeed located at a gate of Europe, but Turkey is mostly a middle-eastern country, geographycally and culturally.

I have no idea why British airways dropped the route. We used to have a daily flight from london to Melbourne.
So did Alitalia. I think there are far more profitable routes now within Europe, the US and Asia for long haul flights. Add to this competition from airlines such as those of the oil producing countries operated by rulers who own the airlines as well as the oil wells.
Congratulations 🎉

What are you talking about???????
Lol, İstanbul is bigger than Eminönü or Taksim
So British airways who fly regularly into Sydney via Singapore isn't a European Carrier? Get you facts right.
Not the first ever. British Airways, Alitalia, Olympic and Lauda once flew here as well. Turkish however is currently the only one.
Is this a 5th freedom flight? Can Turkish airlines pick up passengers in Singapore to Melbourne and vice verse? or is it just a re-fulling stop?
Olympic Airways used to fly to Australia
I love it 😍
Well done Turkish Airlines!
Congratilation!
I hope both countrys could benefit!
Good Job!
Wasn't it British Airways that flew there once upon a time? Or is that not Europe?

Tourists are intrested in Sydney not in Melbourne
Sydney is coming soon. Then Perth and Brisbane will follow.
European carrier??
Yeah, the Tükiyeish propaganda would like to have us believe that it's a European country.
Hi Aisha Congratulations ♥️🇹🇷🇦🇺🦾😇👋
Great interview! It would ne nice from the airline expert to use the correct name of the country: it is Türkiye not "Turkey"...
Since when Türkiye it is in Europe ? We Europeans were not informed of this
You obviously don’t know where Istanbul is.
Go back to sleep.
Your right..... sooner or later the EU & NATO will ask Pakistan and India to join lol
And Turkey is a Muslim country and doesn't fit with European Christian culture and values.
