The flag carrier supports archaeological studies carried out in Türkiye with the Prince Mikasa Foundation regarding the preservation of cultural heritage and exchange promotion projects.
Turkish Airlines signed a partnership agreement with Prince Mikasa Foundation for cultural heritage preservation and promotion of regional exchange. The cultural cooperation agreement was signed with a ceremony held at the Turkish Embassy in Tokyo, Japan, with the participation of H.I.H. Princess Akiko, Prince Mikasa Foundation President Mr. Sachihiro Omura, and Turkish Airlines Board Member Mrs. Fatmanur Altun. With this cooperation, the flag carrier will support the excavations that started in 1986 in Kırşehir Kaman, located on the historical Silk Road, under the leadership of Prince Mikasa.
Commenting on this significant project, Turkish Airlines Board Member, Mrs. Fatmanur Altun stated; “As the national flag carrier of our country, flying to more international destinations than any other airline in the world, we are pleased to realize these collaborations that will contribute to the promotion of our country. We are reinforcing our very special friendship with the State of Japan, which has been going on for years, in this work. We invite everyone to Kalehöyük Archeology Museum in Kırşehir Kaman to see the works of this project carried out by the Prince Mikasa Foundation.”
