In late January, Turkish Airlines held a seminar in Osaka introducing various perks of direct flights between Osaka and Istanbul; the flights will resume in April for the first time since 2017.

From April 14, four weekly flights will connect Kansai International Airport and Istanbul Airport, increasing to five from June 13. Airline officials also highlighted top-tier services that accompany the route's convenience.

These include highly ranked in-flight meals, spacious cabins and "flying chefs" for business-class passengers. At the seminar, Osman Yurttadur, Asia and Far East regional corporate account manager, shared the advantages of the airline with business travelers in Japan.
