Turkish Airlines will soon be able to operate five times more flights in and out of Australia following a new deal with the Federal government.
Transport Minister Catherine King quietly signed off on the deal which will pave the way for the airline to increase its flights into Australia.
Turkish Airlines will be able to fly 21 flights per week between Turkey and Australia with immediate effect, and eventually, the right to do so 35 times a week.
Services will operate from Istanbul via Singapore to the East Coast Capitals and will commence in March.
It follows the government's decision to reject an application from Qatar to double its number of flights into the country earlier this year.
