Turkish Airlines plans to introduce flights between Istanbul, Turkey, and Cebu, Philippines, beginning early-January 2022.

Based on the airline’s online booking platform, flights to Cebu will begin on January 3, 2022. The flight will have a short stop-over in Manila.

Flight TK-264 departs from Istanbul at 9:15 pm (UTC +3) and arrives in Manila at 1:30 pm (UTC +8) the next day. The flight then proceeds to Cebu at 3:05 pm (UTC +8) and eventually lands at 4:25 pm (UTC +8).

The return flight, TK-265, departs from Cebu at 2:25 am (UTC + 8) and arrives in Manila at 3:45 am (UTC + 8). After a short stop, the flight leaves Manila at 5:25 am (UTC +8) and arrives in Istanbul at 1:25 pm (UTC +3).

The Istanbul-Cebu via Manila service operates every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. Turkish Airlines will deploy the Airbus A350 fleet on the route.

Reservations are now open at www.turkishairlines.com.
