“We’ll also add Atlanta to our extensive network later this month and will continue to expand our reach in the Americas.”
Both cities are home base to Star Alliance partners, Avianca in Colombia and Copa in Panama, and the link to Istanbul and Turkish Airlines’ network will be of great benefit to travellers, adding even more connectivity.
