According to the announced plans, the Turkish airline will operate 27 flights a week between the UK and Turkey. The flights will be operated from London Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Bristol and Glasgow airports.

New carrier Global Airlines will launch direct flights between the UK and the US in 2024. The airline will operate transatlantic flights from London to New York and Los Angeles starting in spring 2024.
