Jump to postHello all,
I've read that atlasglobal signed a codeshare agreement with a "major player" Do you know which airline it is? I am hoping for a skyteam carrier.
Another wave of expansion from Atlasglobal, of course in relative terms: I see new flights to Konya, Cluj, Milan and a Trabzon-Antalya flight.
I am especially happy for the Milan flight since I’m moving there in 2 months.
I hope the extraterrestrials are not Skyteam flyers as it is getting weaker in the Istanbul market <img src="http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/graphics/smilies/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" border="0"/> I’m moving to Italy this summer; while buying tickets for the whole family, ...
