With the addition of Juba, the Turkish flag carrier has brought the total number of destinations on the African Continent to 62, making it the airline that connects Africa to more places than any other in the globe.

Flights to Juba will be operated by the national airline brand on three days of the week, namely on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, using Boeing B737-8 aircraft.

In this context, as Turkish Airlines, we are pleased to inaugurate flights to Juba, the capital of South Sudan and will continue to connect Africa to the world in line with the demand and market growth.”

Juba brings the total number of countries served by Turkish Airlines to 129, bringing the total number of destinations served by the airline to 338. In addition to continuing to provide high-end services in every region of the world, the airline is now able to offer its passengers a wider variety of connection options thanks to the addition of Juba.
