Not just adding routes that have been cut. Turkish Airlines has a large network of routes in the United States. Therefore, I believe that both Dallas and Denver would be the next cities to be added by Turkish Airlines.Denver is the place to be!Denver is a hub for United Airlines, and Turkish Airlines is part of the Star Alliance, so the airline should have a lot of connectivity.Denver is seeing some new long-haul flights. Air France has launched flights to Denver since July. Turkish Airlines is now adding service.Denver will also be served by Air France.Dallas is the most surprising addition.Although Dallas is larger than Denver's airport, Turkish Airlines won't likely have any connectivity because the airport is an American Airlines hub.Dallas is more popular than Denver when it comes to travel east of Turkey (including India and Central Asia). Although Emirates and Qatar Airways fly from Dallas, American has a transatlantic joint venture partnership with British Airways. Turkish Airlines may have trouble gaining market share in Turkey.Dallas will see Turkish Airlines compete with Qatar AirwaysBottom lineTurkish Airlines announced plans to launch flights from Istanbul to Dallas and Denver. Dallas flights are already available and will launch 4x weekly starting September 2021 with Boeing 787-9s.It is always exciting to see Turkish Airlines grow. Turkey is a beautiful country with incredible hospitality. This is evident in the Turkish Airlines passengers experience.What do you think of Turkish Airlines' new flights to the USA?(Tip of my hat to @IshrionA
