The new A330 has the same business class seats just like TK and LO. Also correction on my statement, this fare is bookable on KU's website but the connection needs to be under 12 hours. This is only possible on days when KU departs IST at 3 pm (Monday and Friday AFAIK). To create connection longer than on KU you need to use multi-city option.
If you can fly on the days KU leaves at 3pm this is indeed a heck of a deal, I believe this has been around for a while and hope they add 3 pm departure from IST on Sat and Sun.
This deal would essentially be the same as SV's IST-KUL in J minus cash values on miles accrued for other ST FFP (ie DL).
