Turkish Airlines will extend its branded fare structure to cover travel from Australia and New Zealand via Türkiye to its onward international network, effective for tickets issued on or after 22 July 2026. The fares have already been loaded into the reservation system.
The move is the second phase of the initiative. The first phase applied branded fares to travel from Australia and New Zealand to Türkiye itself. Phase two opens the same framework to onward international travel via the Istanbul hub.
Economy Class now carries four fare types: Ecofly, Extrafly, Flexfly and Primefly. Business Class carries two: Businessfly and Businessprime. Each tier attaches its own conditions and benefits, from the entry-level Ecofly through to the more flexible Primefly and the two premium business options.
Turkish Airlines touched down in Australia for the first time in 2024 in Melbourne. The carrier currently flies to Melbourne and Sydney, via Kuala Lumpur, from its Istanbul base.
The structure is designed to give travellers greater flexibility, clearer fare conditions and more tailored options when booking connections beyond Türkiye. For travel advisors, the same fare-tier logic now runs across both the Türkiye leg and the onward journey, aligning how fares are quoted and compared through the Istanbul hub.
In April, the flag carrier was named one of the top five most emissions-efficient large airlines (by total seat capacity).
Why it matters
With Türkiye a busy connection point for Australians bound for the UK and Europe, aligning the fare menu across the whole journey gives travel advisors a cleaner way to match fare conditions to a client’s need for flexibility. The six tiers, four in economy and two in business, make the trade-offs between price and flexibility easier to explain at the point of sale.
