KARACHI: Pakistan is the gateway to Central Asian Republics, South Asia, Middle East and China whereas Turkey can act as the gateway to European Union (EU) for Pakistan and other Asian countries in respect of commerce.

President Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) Haroon Agar talking to a business delegation of Turkey said ‘One-Nation, Two-States’ was the phrase which best described the relations between Turkey and Pakistan.

Turkish delegation headed by General Manager of Turkish Airlines Huseyin Cepni accompanied by regional Director Pak-Turk International Schools Ali Karan and Director Public Relations Huseyin Demirdelen visited KCCI.

KCCI attaches high level of significance to Pakistan-Turkey Bilateral Trade and relationship due to geo-strategic locations of two brother Muslim countries.

He appreciated the Turkish Airlines was vibrantly operating in Pakistan while providing quality services for Eurasian region and entrance to European Union countries via Istanbul and of course to other countries worldwide.

Indeed the Turkish flag-bearer airline was not only connecting the business communities of two countries but also providing air cargo services, he added.

Agar invited Turkish Airways to exhibit in the Turkish Pavilion of KCCI’s 10th My-Karachi Exhibition 2013 in July 2013.

Regular flights between two countries are crucial to facilitate the business travelling and transportation of air cargo, particularly for perishable goods, he maintained.

Husseyin Cepni said Turkish Airline aimed to provide services to Pakistanis to fly from Pakistan to worldwide. He announced during his recent visit to Airlines Headquarters at Turkey, he got special approval for discount to KCCI’s members. All KCCI’s members can avail exclusive 5 percent discount on ticketing from any Turkish Airlines office operating in Pakistan while showing their membership card. He apprised KCCI members Turkish Airlines was providing quality services to Pakistanis travelling between Pakistan and Turkey and to other regions of the world particularly Europe. From Istanbul, Turkish Airlines fly to all leading European countries and their major cities on daily basis. The Turkish Airlines is also offering air cargo services between two countries and other destination.

He confirmed participation of Turkish Airlines in the Turkish Pavilion of My-Karachi Oasis of Harmony Exhibition 2013.

Turkish Airlines will offer free tickets and gift hampers to the visitors of My-Karachi Exhibition through luck draw.

Turkish Airlines is state-owned enterprise and the Turkish national carrier is negotiating with Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority to start daily operations from Karachi and also flights from Islamabad and Lahore.

Turkish Airline is also good friend with Pakistan’s national carrier having joint arrangements on some routes. Turkish Airlines is a Star Alliance member having youngest fleet of more than 200 aircrafts was ranked as best airline in Europe last year and one of the top ten airlines of the world.

The Airline flies to more countries than any other airline in the world, he told.
