Turkish Airlines will resume regular flights on the Istanbul-Turkmenbashi-Istanbul route from November 2, Trend reports citing Turkmenportal.

Flights will be operated twice a week on Wednesdays and Thursdays. It is expected that their regularity will increase.

Turkmen citizens need a visa to visit Türkiye. The cost of a single entry visa starts from $60, and a double-entry visa - $120. The minimum cost of one-way tickets is from $497.
