Lisbon-based euroAtlantic airways has stated it is looking for opportunities to enter the Turkish travel market. Speaking during a visit to Ankara and Istanbul, external affairs director Caetano Pestana was meeting with companies interested in partnering with euroAtlantic airways. “We are a well-established company that has also won respect in the industry for managing to achieve reciprocity with the US, despite being a small airline,” he said, stressing the company wants to expand into emerging markets.
Because euroAtlantic is licensed both in the US and the EU and has a good reputation, some African airlines blacklisted by the international aviation authority have contracted euroAtlantic Airways to operate flights on their behalf.
The company owns eight 767-300s and a Tristar 500, which it bought from TAP-Air Portugal in 1993 to start its long-haul ventures.
