Considering that TK has not applied for Singapore's approval for 5th freedom flights yet, is there any chance that they will start IST-SIN-MEL (or SYD) flights in March, as suggested in recent news? I have no idea, how long does it take to process such application but I guess it's time consuming and might last considerably longer than 3 months?

Edit: I didn't see TPJ's reply when posted my question. It explains lack of TK's application for Singapore's approval. Assuming they will start operating on this route with only technical stop in SIN, when would you expect TK to present schedule of these flight and to start selling tickets?
