Turkish Airlines, the airline that flies to more countries than any other in the world, has announced the continued restoration of its Middle East network following a temporary suspension of operations. The airline is progressively resuming flights across key regional destinations as part of its broader network recovery strategy.
The carrier has resumed flights to Abu Dhabi starting July 1, 2026, with additional services scheduled to restart to Dammam on July 10, 2026, Kuwait on July 11, 2026, and Bahrain on July 16, 2026.
Expansion of Flight Frequencies Across Key Routes
These resumptions follow the successful restart of operations to Dubai on June 9, 2026. Turkish Airlines has also significantly increased its flight frequencies on several major Middle East routes to meet rising passenger demand.
- Dubai flights increased from 7 to 14 weekly flights, effective June 25, 2026
- Amman flights increased from 14 to 21 weekly flights, effective June 19, 2026

As the only airline operating flights to six continents, Turkish Airlines provides access to more than 350 destinations worldwide, spanning Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas.
Commitment to Global Network Recovery
The ongoing restoration of routes reflects Turkish Airlines’ commitment to rebuilding and optimizing its global flight network while maintaining strong connectivity between the Middle East and international markets.
