Turkish Airlines has added Xi’an flight from Istanbul to its flight network on December 30. Xi’an became the flag carrier’s fourth destination in mainland China and the 318th destination in the world. The flights operate three times a week with Airbus A330 aircrafts. Starting its flights to People’s Republic of China back in 1999 with Beijing as its destination, Turkish Airlines reinforced its strong position in Asia with the Xi’an flights. With this new addition, global carrier’s flight network encompassed the entirety of the historical Silk Road that started in Xi’an and ended in Venice.

Turkish Airlines passengers traveling to Xi’an, one of the oldest civilisations of the world, will have the opportunity to explore the numerous cultural heritages along with the historical fabric of the 3000 years old city. Serving as the capital of 13 different dynasties during the history of China, the region’s most popular destination is the Terracotta Army, which draws over two million tourists annually. Hidden underground for nearly 2200 years, it was first discovered during the excavations in 1974. Featuring eight thousand terracotta soldiers, it is considered as the Eighth Wonder of the World.
