Driven by its mission to offer guests an unparalleled travel experience, Turkish Airlines now showcases Türkiye’s cultural treasures in the skies. The new amenity kit collection, named the 'UNESCO Türkiye Series', draws inspiration from six UNESCO World Heritage sites in Türkiye: Nemrut, Göbeklitepe, Cappadocia, Ephesus, Ani, and Troy. It also features four ebru (Turkish marbling) designs and three traditional carpet-rug motifs. These kits are now available in Business Class on flights lasting between five and eight hours, with different versions set to be introduced in mid-January for Economy Class on flights exceeding eight hours.
Developed in collaboration with the Turkish National Commission for UNESCO, this special collection highlights Turkish Airlines’ vision of providing comfort above the clouds while promoting Türkiye’s historic and cultural values on the global stage. Each set serves as a memorable travel keepsake, blending thousands of years of Anatolian history and artistic heritage with contemporary design elements.
A modern interpretation of traditional Turkish art, each kit includes hand and body lotion and lip balm formulated by the luxury fragrance brand Ex Nihilo. Additionally, approximately 80% of the materials used in items such as socks, eye masks, and toothbrushes are made from recycled materials and sustainable options like biodegradable cornstarch.
Commenting on the new collection, Turkish Airlines Chief Operations Officer M Akif Konar stated, “With the UNESCO Türkiye Series, we are not only providing our guests with a memorable flight experience, but also showcasing Türkiye’s rich cultural heritage to the world. As Turkish Airlines, we continue to lead the global aviation sector with our sustainability-focused approach and our commitment to preserving cultural values. This collection is a tangible expression of our efforts to present Anatolia’s millennia-old history and art to our passengers in a contemporary way. We hope our guests will form a unique bond with Türkiye’s deep-rooted past through these sets.”
With the 'UNESCO Türkiye Series', Turkish Airlines continues to set new standards in travel comfort and cultural storytelling. As the nation’s flag carrier, the airline remains committed to introducing the richness of Turkish culture to travellers worldwide while preserving and promoting Türkiye’s heritage in the skies.
