Filmed and released in 1996 we're delighted to bring back Turkish Airlines to the series with a roundtrip A340-300 flight from Istanbul to New York's JFK Int'l Airport.

Since then Turkish has known an incredible growth and today it operates 165 aircraft including 9 Airbus A340 and a number of Airbus A330s and Boeing 777s on long range routes. The airline also became a member of Star Alliance.

This program shows you a typical transatlantic crossing, what the pilots do before and during the flight, how they operate the A340, cabin service plus a bit of history of the airline and views of its fleet at Istanbul Airport.
