# Turkish Airlines has announced an increase in flight frequencies on its Istanbul–Johannesburg and Istanbul–Cape Town routes from late October. The airline will add three extra weekly flights on each route to meet rising seasonal demand, bringing the total to 20 flights per week. The additional services will operate until late March next year. The expansion is expected to boost tourism, business travel and cargo links between South Africa and Turkey, while improving global connectivity through Istanbul’s international hub.
