IST-MLE/BKK availability ending abruptly 3/15
Hey I was hoping some of you might know TK patterns better than I do.
I'm looking at availability on Turkish to Male, which seems phenomenal up until March 15th, when it cuts out completely. Bangkok is the exact same. Whereas if you plug in Chicago or Singapore, the availability continues.
Both the BKK and MLE flights continue past the 15th -- it's not like the route is stopping -- so can any of you hazard a guess as to why availability goes from every single day to not at all? I've seen stuff like this around Christmas for their American routes, but Easter isn't until April 16th next year so that would seem very odd (and frankly, it would be odd even if Easter was in late March). Is there some huge demand for travel to exotic places from Istanbul in mid-March?
