Eventually this will increase to daily service using TK metal depending on aircraft delivery.
It also says in the beginning of the article: "After failing to secure Fifth Freedom Rights from Bangkok, Turkey’s national flag carrier, Turkish Airlines (THY), has decided to fly to the Philippine capital
direct beginning winter of 2011."
Confusing.
