Turkish Airlines passengers have reported encountering bedbugs on multiple flights recently. These incidents, which have surfaced through passenger accounts and social media posts, highlight concerns over in-flight hygiene.

The airline, renowned for its vast international network, recently achieved a Guinness World Record for flying to the most countries. Despite this accolade, the reports of bedbugs have tarnished its reputation. Passengers described finding the bugs on seats and even falling from the ceiling.

One traveler noticed bugs on their seat while another spotted them crawling on their blanket. Many passengers expressed frustration when flight attendants downplayed their concerns. Despite reassurances, some travelers reported moving to different seats due to the infestation.

Turkish Airlines addressed these concerns by emphasizing their commitment to safety and hygiene. They stated that all feedback is taken seriously, with thorough investigations and necessary treatments conducted on affected aircraft.

Airplane cleaning protocols typically include daily cleanings, more extensive overnight cleaning, and occasional deep cleaning. These processes aim to maintain a clean environment and prevent pest infestations. However, the recent bedbug reports raise questions about their effectiveness.

Turkish Airlines, with its extensive network across 131 countries, continues to serve numerous destinations, including major cities in the Americas and Europe. Despite the bedbug incidents, the airline remains a key player in international aviation, striving to ensure passenger comfort and safety on all flights.
