International passengers flying on Turkish Airlines’ fleet of widebody aircraft – Boeing 777s and Airbus A330s— will be able to stream matches live onto their screens. Meanwhile, passengers in Turkish Airlines’ lounges across Turkey will also be able to watch the competition in their pre-flight comfort. Additionally, those in the airline’s award-winning business class lounge in Istanbul will be able to play the official EURO 2016 console game, which will be synchronized to reflect the tournament’s results.  Turkish Airlines will also be running special activities for football fans in four different cities across France. 

Turkish Airlines’ chief marketing officer, Ahmet Olmuştur said: “Upgrading our passengers’ experience is at the heart of everything we do at Turkish Airlines and our partnership with UEFA EURO 2016 TM gives us another great opportunity to do just this. Whether at the airport or at 37,000 feet, we will help unleash the fan passion in all our passengers by allowing them to experience the joy of the tournament, no matter where they are.”
