JetBlue Airways and Turkish Airlines recently announced the launch of their codeshare deal. Under this agreement Turkish Airlines will place its code TK on few of JetBlue’s routes operated out of Boston Logan International airport and JFK airport.

Aimed towards increasing global connectivity via Istanbul, this codeshare agreement will allow travelers to book one single ticket combining flights on both carriers. Passengers will now be able to experience seamless air travel post this codeshare.

At present, Turkish Airlines operates up to three flights daily between JFK International Airport and Istanbul Ataturk Airport.
