Turkish Airlines and South African Airways have signed a codeshare agreement.
Flights will operate under the new agreement from 1 March 2026. Turkish Airlines will add the TK code to SAA services in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Windhoek, Harare, Victoria Falls and Mauritius.
SAA will place the SA code on Turkish Airlines flights between Istanbul and Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Frankfurt, Paris and London.
Ahmet Bolat shared “Our codeshare agreement with South African Airways is a meaningful step in further strengthening our presence in the African market and deepening the cooperation between Türkiye and South Africa. As the largest non-African airline operating in Africa, we attach great importance to sustainable partnerships that enhance connectivity and cultivate long-term value for our guests.”
John Lamola shared “South African Airways welcomes this codeshare partnership as a strategic step in expanding safe, reliable, and competitive air services for our customers. Turkish Airlines is a respected global carrier, and this collaboration reflects our shared commitment to strengthening connectivity between Africa and Türkiye. Partnerships of this nature play an important role in supporting tourism, trade, and sustainable economic development.”
