Turkish Airlines has said that its hope to have effective code-sharing agreements in Nigeria, given that the country had a functional national carrier with a view facilitating more flexible flight operations between Nigeria and other countries.
Country Manager for Turkish Airlines in Nigeria, Mr. Tarkan Ince, stated this in an interview.
According to Ince, “We have had many code sharing deals with many national carrier across the world and we would have loved to strike similar deal in Nigeria. This would have facilitated more flexible flight operations between Nigeria and other countries where Turkish Airlines has flight rights.”
He, however, noted that the fact that Nigeria does not have a national carrier and this makes it impossible for foreign airlines to have effective codeshare agreements.
