Turkish Airlines has announced a new direct flight service connecting Sydney, Australia to Istanbul, Turkey, with a stopover in Kuala Lumpur. This route, starting December 5, 2024, will be the only direct return flight to Istanbul from any Australian airport, strengthening Sydney’s position as a key European gateway and expanding Turkish Airlines’ global network.
A 12-hour strike by plane refuellers at Sydney Airport on August 23rd is expected to cause significant disruptions for travelers, with potential flight cancellations and delays across multiple airlines. The strike, organized by workers from Ampol Aviation, is in response to a pay disparity dispute and lack of secure employment.
