We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in strengthening the commercial ties between the UK and Türkiye!

Through the initiative of the Bursa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BTSO) and the dedicated support of MÜSIAD UK, we are working to establish a direct air corridor between Bursa and London Luton Airport (LTN) for both passenger and cargo transportation.

This project is spearheaded by Dr. Murat Bayizit, who serves on the board of both BTSO and MÜSIAD UK, providing a vital bridge between our two business ecosystems.

Strategic Discussions at Luton A high-level meeting recently took place at London Luton Airport to finalize the framework for this partnership. Key attendees included:

  • Türkan Akbaş (Chairwoman of MÜSIAD UK)
  • Dr. Murat Bayizit (BTSO & MÜSIAD UK Board Member)
  • Simon Harley (Head of Aviation, London Luton Airport)

  • Cllr Javeria Hussain (Cllr – Luton Strategy Representative)

  • Özlem Bacak (Trade & Investment Consultant / General Secretary of MÜSİAD UK)

  • Atilla Üstün (MÜSIAD UK Luton Member)

What’s Next? While discussions continue with airport authorities in Bursa, we are excited to host the next phase of negotiations in Bursa soon. This initiative is more than just a flight path; it’s a gateway to unlocking new opportunities in trade, tourism, and logistics.

As MÜSIAD UK, we are honored to lead this effort and support the growth of our members on an international scale. 🤝
