TBO.com formerly Bookabed hosted the Turkish Airlines team at its Dublin office, with discussions centring on the carrier’s double daily Dublin-to-Istanbul service and the wider opportunities Istanbul presents as both a destination and a global connecting hub. The meeting forms part of ongoing collaboration between the travel technology platform and the flag carrier, as Turkish Airlines continues to expand its presence in the Irish market. The airline’s extensive international network offers Irish travellers onward connections across multiple continents, with Istanbul positioned as a strategic gateway for long-haul travel.
The double daily frequency from Dublin to Istanbul provides travel agent partners with increased flexibility when booking client itineraries, particularly for those seeking connections to destinations across Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Turkish Airlines has invested significantly in its Dublin operation, recognising the growing demand from Irish travellers for diverse routing options and competitive fare structures. The carrier’s hub at Istanbul Airport, now one of the world’s largest aviation facilities, processesms of connecting passengers annually and has developed a reputation for efficient transfer operations and premium lounge facilities.
TBO.com has confirmed plans to announce an upcoming familiarisation trip for selected agent partners, offering first-hand experience of Turkish Airlines’ product and Istanbul’s tourism offering. The initiative aims to strengthen the partnership between the technology platform and the airline while equipping travel agents with direct knowledge of the destination and onboard service standards. The Turkish Airlines team presented gifts to their hosts as a gesture of goodwill, with both parties expressing commitment to growing the commercial relationship and driving increased bookings through the TBO.com platform.
