Turkish Airlines Sets Its Sights on Cape Town, Inviting Travelers to Discover “The Mother City” in Full

Turkish Airlines is turning its gaze toward South Africa’s most captivating coastal jewel, urging travelers everywhere to make their next stop Cape Town.

In its latest commercial, the airline paints an evocative portrait of what awaits: richer culture, bolder adventure, more breathtaking sunsets, and simply, more Cape Town.

Beginning October 26, 2026, the carrier will meaningfully expand its presence on this coveted route, boosting service from seven weekly flights to a generous ten, a strategic increase perfectly timed to coincide with the onset of South Africa’s summer tourism season, when the city’s beaches, vineyards, and dramatic coastal landscapes draw travelers from across the globe.

The direct flights will continue to connect Istanbul Airport (IST) with Cape Town International Airport (CPT), offering seamless intercontinental access between two vibrant hubs.

This elevated seasonal schedule is set to run from October 26, 2026, through late March 2027, giving travelers an extended window to experience Cape Town at its most vibrant.

“From October, we’re increasing flights to Cape Town, giving you more opportunities to explore the Mother City,” the airline affirms, underscoring its commitment to deepening ties between Turkey and southern Africa.

True to its reputation for modern, comfortable long-haul travel, Turkish Airlines typically operates this intercontinental route aboard its sleek Airbus A350-900, ensuring travelers arrive at their coastal destination well-rested and ready to embrace everything Cape Town has to offer.

The song in the Turkish Airlines More Flights More Cape Town commercial is ITS A BEAUTIFUL WORLD by Out of Flux, released on November 24, 2025 by Artlist Original as a part of the album ITS A BEAUTIFUL WORLD – Single.
