DPS going from 7 weekly to 10 weekly should also be mentioned as I think it was never 10 weekly.

China Southern will boost CAN-IST from 3 weekly to 10 weekly, PKX to 4 weekly as well as URC to 3 weekly. Not sure if TK should go head to head with them (and other rumored Chinese carriers to launch IST anytime soon) or maybe focus on secondary cities like Chengdu, Kunming, Xian, Wuhan etc. where there is less direct competition. Considering the huge feeder network (still to be expanded with already announced new destinations Tirana, Yerevan, Stansted, Bissau, Timisoara, Monrovia) it should work out to fill planes to those cities.

Normally summer timetable is the time when US destinations get additional frequencies or even new routes are launched but considering the current political situation this won't happen this year (North America 2025: just +6.2% passengers) so really curios what will be the plan for the long haul aircraft this summer, replace A330 with A350/B789 and use A330 on medium-haul routes to growing markets Europe (+9.4%), Middle East (+16.5%), Central Asia, Africa (+20.7%) or even A330 to be returned/phased-out? New bilateral agreements with Canada or India (also the 2 B77W leased to IndiGo will come back to TK) definitely help to shift capacity.

As mentioned earlier not sure about Latin America (2025: just +0.2%) as the situation in Mexico, Colombia might not that be stable any longer. Therefore unlikely they will launch new destinations like LIM, GIG which require huge aircraft/personal utilization with expected lower yields compared to Asian/North American flights.
