Turkish to start IST - SIN - CGK

[B727]

Heard on KOMO4 news out of Seattle earlier this week that TK had apparently confirmed additional orders of the 77W. Makes me wonder where all are they gonna fly those planes?

If you want to find out more about traffic rights, John MacIlree is a good place to start looking.

Aww, too bad. Wonder why that is, TK being a Star Alliance member and all. LH certainly has rights on SIN-CGK vv (although it is personally not an option for me )

Traffic rights are negotiated country by country, thus it seems that Germany (and presumably all EU because air treaties have been largely converted to EU-wide rather than EU country specific) currently has different rights than Turkey at the moment.

As at now yes. But that does not mean TK will not eventually get the traffic rights and take flight on the SIN-CGK vv sectors based on their announcement?

As of January 2010, QR will start the daily DOH-CGK direct and the current KUL-DPS would be changed to SIN-DPS.

QR ends SIN-CGK on 31DEC09.

I was informed by a prominent SQTalker that QR will launch a direct DOH-CGK flight, and replace SIN-CGK with SIN-DPS.

There goes an alternative I had in mind then

Strange that LH, QR amongst others, have the rights

Any interesting fares for the SIN-CGK leg loaded yet?

Jakarta still not yet loaded as a destination in the THY booking engine.

Do you have a link? THY booking engine still showing 77W for SIN-IST in early October. I also can't see TK dropping 77W from SIN entirely and still keep it for a few days of the BKK route, which btw is also still showing 77W in early October. Right now both routes are served by a mix of A340/330 and 77W.

From 03SEP09 to 20OCT09, 77W operating IST - SIN - CGK Day x236 from IST

I used the TK official schedule. BTW, I checked only till the end of august.

The 77W is still on the route IST-BKK on selected days (1,3), while it has disappeared on the IST-SIN for Aug, where previously was present on selected dates.

IIRC, some days ago, TK announced a change in the equipment for the IST-SIN flights.
Should be A330/A340 only. No 77W by 9W unfortunately.
