    A 777-300 with almost 500 seats? That's impressive. Is it TK's bird or leased?

    492 seats on B777-300?!?!

    Is this mistake? I traveled this aircraft many times, and there was always below 400 seats? MAybe tis is 392 in TK?

    500 seats in B777-300 is like 7 people in passenger car ;)

      It is not a mistake. Turkish Airlines has filed this capacity and has a number of such B777-300ER aircraft in its fleet.

      Ok.

      I may be wrong since I concern that 100 people more on board means more lavatories, more staf to serve, than more luggage, more time needed to board 500 people. I do not know is it so...

      I wonder - if this kind of plane has same number of exits?

      If yes, I imagine that must be horror movie once plain landed to disembark once plain landed.

      TC-LKA flied on Tuesday IST-PRN-JED which has 400 seats.
      TC-LKF flied on Tuesday MED-PRN and today PRN-IST. This on has 492 seats. My guess is that this one had an maintenance issue that made THY to send TC-LKA for the JED bound flight.

      PRN does not compete with TIA. SKP is the closest competitor.

      TIA never had a wide body aircraft. Only when the summit was on 16th of May, president of France, Turkey and some other country came with a wide body aircraft. But that doesn't count. SKP is actually somehow worse than PRN.

      I don’t understand why TIA is brought into discussion when speaking of exyu airports. For most of exyu, TIA is at another league regarding destinations served and no of passengers. In 2025, it had 1m more passengers than ZAG, PRN and LJU combined.
      The only comparisons that make sense are PRN-SKP and LJU-ZAG, as both have overlapping catchment areas and serve to relatively similar passengers types. Both have a clear winner.
