This is an exciting new partnership with Turkish Airlines, one we know will enhance 3Arena customer experience and the 1878 member experience. We are very confident that over the next three years, the Turkish Airlines partnership with 3Arena will add value for our both of our customer bases.”

Our Irish operation forms a critical part of our business and we see this partnership as an excellent opportunity to enhance our presence in the Irish market by aligning ourselves with 3Arena, the number one music venue in Ireland as well the 1878, which delivers a first class music experience providing an excellent fit with our business class service.”
