Generally, the information for TK is shown accurate, so no need for direct access, however, if direct access is forced, aircraft types is often '404' which reminds html error page. So do not know if can trust the results.
There are no problems with the direct access. Airline-GDS communications do not use anything as remotely modern as HTTP/HTML for communications, so "404" has no special meaning. For TK, direct access is used to be able to see availability beyond 330 days in the future.
As you can see from the direct GDS output, this is what TK is returning. It is probably something that they will fix, however the availability results look the same as the non-direct access method so there is no issue with availability accuracy.
