Hello, Just a question regarding TK 17 and TK 18 on the YYZ - IST route. Usually this route is flown on TK's 787-9, it seems however that for any flights booked in 2021 after Dec 31st, 2020 TK will be using the 777-3 ER. I saw this on Google fights when i was looking for flights in January 2021 vs Dec 2020. Can anyone confirm that the 777 will be flown in Jan 2021? Thanks in Advance!
The current schedule for 1 January and onwards is a placeholder schedule so no-one could confirm the aircraft type on TK17/18 next year.

Would there be any news, even if not confirmed, when a TK will return to normal?
It is really a shame what TK has done with its passengers, especially those who have paid a fortune to travel in J!
In Brazil, several passengers who had already bought a ticket in J will file lawsuits to obtain compensation for the quality of the service below the price paid.

There isn't any update on the catering changes at the moment and the current offerings would be served until further notice.

IMO, the Dreamliner would continue to operate until Canada re-opens their borders but later on, due to the strict slot restriction imposed by the Canadian government, the 777-300ER may come back on the YYZ route.
As you mentioned, the schedule changes would tell us everything.

I flew on a Dreamliner back in Sept and with TKs cost cutting it was already intolerable but I was thinking of overlooking it as I wanted to visit Istanbul again in 2021. Guess that won’t be happening now as the 777 with its 7 across seating with covid catering is more PY than J.

When I have time, I'll update the WIKI of this thread accordingly to give the details.

Oh nice that’s good a step in the right direction. Hopefully they’ll stick with the dreamliners for now.
