Nice if it comes to fruition.

Among the new destinations we in the management have decided to add, the following will be made available one after the other in 2009: Çanakkale and Uşak in Turkey, and Dakar (Senegal), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Toronto (Canada), Meshhed (Iran), Nairobi (Kenya), Ufa (Bashkirdistan-Russian Federation), Lvov (Ukraine), and Goteburg (Sweden) abroad. In addition to these, among the new candidate cities we are considering as destinations in the the future are Washington, D.C. (U.S.A.), Dacca (Bangladesh), Glasgow (United Kingdom), Alexandria (Egypt), Lahore (Pakistan), and Benghazi (Libya).

Looks like it may be on the cards for next year. Hopefully it will happen, although I assume it will only be a weekly flight at least at first?

It could be more than that, I reckon. I've flown from Beijing to London via IST with Turkish, as I had a friend in Istanbul. If they went to GLA I'd consider using it for getting home, even though I'm from Edinburgh. No matter what airline you take from the Far East, you're going to need two flights, so IST seems as good a place to change or stopover as the usual suspects.
