I was in Istanbul this week for the Turkish Airlines Corporate Club conference, where the airline's leadership further detailed its plans to grow over the next five years as a more formidable option for business travelers.
The airline has been troubled by a drop in demand following the country's 2016 coup and currency fluctuations in the past year, as the Turkish economy has struggled following an infrastructure building boom. Yet, the airline will be one of the beneficiaries of that boom, with a major new airport set to open next month about 30 minutes outside the center of the city.
Check out my story below covering the airline's plans to become the next great global connector for business travelers. While there still aren't solid plans to improve its aging business class product, word was a new concept is coming as it gets ready to accept a number of Dreamliners in the coming years.
We've also got the latest on Priority Pass moving into dining and how Iceland's Wow Air is dealing with the ramifications of a slowdown in its low-cost long-haul business.
