China Southern Airlines entrusts TAL Aviation as its General Sales Agent in Turkey
TAL Aviation and China Southern further bond their cooperation with the representation of China Southern in Turkey.
China Southern and TAL Aviation began their partnership in 2013 with the representation in TAL Aviation Uruguay. This was in response to the increasing demand in passenger traffic in Latin America coupled with forecasts of expectations of China replacing the USA as the world’s largest passenger market by 2030.
The new representation in Turkey offers its travel market daily flights between Istanbul and Peking and Istanbul and Urumqi, operated by A330 aircraft with 3 classes on board. The 24 seat configuration in Business Class allows passengers to “lay down” at the touch of a button. Its 49 seats in Premium Economy with new cabin layout offer more space and the 177 seats in Economy offer excellent lumbar support.
Passengers also enjoy a wide selection of Chinese and western-style food and over five kinds of beverages and liquors in economy class to an extensive selection in Business Class whilst enjoying the aircraft’s state-of- the-art in-flight entertainment.
TAL Aviation welcomes the additional representation and is looking forward to meeting the demand in traffic and placing China Southern as Turkey’s number one carrier to China.
