Istanbul – Manila to increase from 7 to 10 weekly.
This is an interesting plan from Turkish Airlines. Good for Cebu to have a new international carrier serving the city.
ReplyDeleteIt says "triangular route", but it appears that the flight from CEB goes back to MNL before flying out to IST? Am I reading that right? Would have been better if it flies out to IST non-stop from CEB on its return trip.
