Turkish Airlines is expanding its service to the Maldives by introducing an additional weekly flight between Istanbul and Malé for the 2026 summer season. Running from mid-May through late October, the new schedule adds a Wednesday departure from Turkey and a Thursday return leg from the islands. This adjustment brings the total number of weekly flights on this route to six, further cementing the Maldives' position as a premier luxury destination with robust links to global travelers.
This increased frequency is designed to offer greater flexibility for passengers transiting through Istanbul, which serves as a vital gateway connecting the archipelago to North America and Europe. By strengthening this corridor, the airline provides travelers with reliable alternatives for reaching the Indian Ocean nation. The expansion reflects a strategic effort to accommodate rising visitor demand and ensures consistent accessibility for international tourists throughout the peak summer months.
