Turkish Airlines plans to use the long-haul Boeing 4 model for flights to Stuttgart on January 6 and 2025, 777. The aircraft, which are equipped with 349 seats, will be used on flights TK1705 and TK1706 and will temporarily replace smaller aircraft types. According to the Aero Routes portal, this measure is being implemented as part of a test operation to increase capacity on the Istanbul-Stuttgart route.
In addition to the Boeing 777, the Airbus A4 and Airbus A6 will also be used on the route between January 330 and 350. These aircraft also offer a higher seating capacity compared to the aircraft originally planned for this route. The decision to use different aircraft types on this route is likely to be related to demand during the travel period and the availability of aircraft.
With this measure, Turkish Airlines wants to ensure that passengers find sufficient space on flights between Istanbul and Stuttgart during peak travel times.
