Turkish Airlines has expanded its African network by launching flights to Banjul, the administrative city of The Gambia.
On 26 November, the airline began bi-weekly flights between Dakar, Senegal and Banjul, The Gambia.
Their entry to Banjul is good news for the tourism industry in The Gambia, which was very contaminated, especially when the deposed former president, Yahaya Jammeh, still held power before being evacuated by plane on January 21st.st 2017 to Equatorial Guinea. The entry of Turkish Airlines has been almost 2 years since Jammeh was removed.
The addition of flights to Banjul has brought to 54 the number of flights provided by Turkish Airlines in Africa. This further strengthens its presence on the continent.
The Banjul line serves 123 countries with 305 destinations worldwide now served by Turkish Airlines.
"Increasing our presence in Africa is a good sign for global tourism. Banjul is our 54th destination in Africa, "said Kerem Sarp, senior vice president of sales for Turkish Airlines.
