Turkish Airlines, committed to delivering an unparalleled travel experience, is now bringing the rich cultural heritage of Türkiye to the skies. Introducing the “UNESCO Türkiye Series,” the airline’s latest amenity kit collection draws inspiration from six iconic UNESCO World Heritage sites in Türkiye: Nemrut, Göbeklitepe, Cappadocia, Ephesus, Ani, and Troy. Complemented by four exquisite ebru (Turkish Marbling) patterns and three traditional carpet and rug motifs, these kits are now available for Business Class passengers on flights lasting five to eight hours. Economy Class passengers on flights exceeding eight hours can look forward to their own versions debuting in mid-January.

This unique collection, created in partnership with the Turkish National Commission for UNESCO, embodies Turkish Airlines’ dedication to combining comfort with cultural storytelling. The amenity kits celebrate Türkiye’s rich history and artistic traditions, offering passengers a keepsake that blends ancient Anatolian heritage with modern design.

Each kit features a refined interpretation of Turkish art and includes hand and body lotion and lip balm crafted by luxury fragrance house Ex Nihilo. Furthermore, sustainability is at the forefront, with approximately 80% of materials used—such as socks, eye masks, and toothbrushes—derived from recycled or eco-friendly options like biodegradable cornstarch.

Commenting on the new collection, Turkish Airlines Chief Operations Officer M. Akif Konar stated: “With the UNESCO Türkiye Series, not only we are providing our guests with a memorable flight experience but we are also showcasing Türkiye’s rich cultural heritage to the world. As Turkish Airlines, we continue to maintain our lead in the global aviation sector with our sustainability-focused approach and our vision of 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.”

Turkish Airlines raises the bar in travel comfort and cultural expression with its innovative “UNESCO Türkiye Series.” As Türkiye’s national carrier, the airline is dedicated to showcasing the country’s vibrant cultural heritage to passengers worldwide while celebrating and safeguarding its historical legacy high above the clouds.
