Smarter business travel for the Midlands: How Turkish Airlines corporate club supports growing organisations
Written by Turkish Airlines
Supporting Greater Birmingham’s global ambitions
Businesses across Greater Birmingham are increasingly operating on a global stage.
From exporting manufacturers and professional services firms to academic institutions and fast-growing SMEs, international travel remains a critical enabler of trade, investment, and collaboration.
As the airline that flies to more countries than any other, Turkish Airlines plays a key role in connecting Midlands organisations to global markets.
With an extensive network of over 350 destinations through its Istanbul hub, the airline provides efficient access to Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas.
Continued investment in the UK market including the upcoming launch of flights from London Stansted and the opening of a new Turkish Airlines lounge in Edinburgh, further strengthens access and comfort for British business travellers.
For organisations managing frequent business travel, the focus has shifted beyond just routes. Cost control, flexibility, traveller wellbeing, and productivity are now central considerations.
Turkish Airlines Corporate Club offers a tailored solution for businesses across the region.
Designed for the realities of corporate travel
Turkish Airlines Corporate Club is a dedicated corporate travel programme created to meet the needs of organisations of all sizes.
Whether supporting senior leadership travel, project-based international teams, or regular long-haul business journeys, the programme combines financial advantages with premium service standards.
Unlike traditional corporate offerings that require complex commitments, Turkish Airlines Corporate Club membership is designed to be simple and accessible with no membership or exit fees, making it suitable for private companies, public institutions, associations, and foundations.
For Midlands businesses navigating economic pressures while maintaining international engagement, this balance of value and flexibility is particularly relevant.
Cost efficiency without compromise
Managing travel budgets remains a priority for many organisations. Corporate Club members can benefit from:
- Up to 20 per cent discounts on international flights
- Flexible booking conditions, including free ticket changes
- Additional baggage allowances for business travellers
These features allow companies to better forecast travel costs while retaining the agility needed in fast-moving commercial environments.
For businesses with changing schedules or evolving project requirements, flexibility can be as valuable as headline savings.
Saving time where it matters most
For business travellers, time is often the most valuable resource. Turkish Airlines Corporate Club is built around reducing friction at every stage of the journey.
Members enjoy a range of priority services, including:
- Fast Track where available
- Priority check-in and boarding
- Dedicated Corporate Help Desk support
At Istanbul Airport, one of the world’s leading global airport hubs, eligible travellers also have access to premium lounges, offering quiet spaces to work, refresh, or prepare for meetings between flights.
These efficiencies help Midlands-based professionals arrive at their destinations better prepared and less fatigued, supporting both performance and wellbeing.
Productivity and comfort in the air
The onboard experience is another area where Corporate Club delivers added value. Turkish Airlines’ award-winning Business Class offers:
- Gourmet dining prepared by Flying Chefs
- Complimentary Wi-Fi on selected aircraft
For corporate travellers, this means flights can be used productively or as valuable rest time ahead of important engagements.
Even in Economy Class, Corporate Club benefits enhance comfort and convenience, reinforcing a consistent travel experience across different roles and seniority levels.
Integrated benefits through Miles&Smiles
Corporate Club is now integrated with Miles&Smiles, Turkish Airlines’ loyalty programme, unlocking additional advantages for corporate travellers.
These include enhanced seat selection benefits, priority services, and Elite Corporate Card privileges for eligible members.
This integration allows organisations to maximise value from their travel activity while rewarding frequent travellers with a smoother, more personalised journey.
A strategic advantage for Midlands organisations
For Greater Birmingham businesses, Corporate Club is more than a travel programme. It is a strategic tool that supports:
1 Employee wellbeing
Reduced stress, better rest, and premium services contribute to healthier, more engaged travelling staff.
2 Operational efficiency
Priority services and flexible ticketing minimise disruption and downtime.
3 Financial control
Transparent discounts and cost-saving benefits help organisations manage travel expenditure more effectively.
4 Global reach
Access to one of the world’s most comprehensive airline networks supports international growth and diversification.
Looking ahead
As the Midlands continues to strengthen its global connections, business travel will remain an essential part of regional success.
Organisations are increasingly seeking partners that understand the evolving needs of corporate travellers and can deliver value beyond the ticket price.
Turkish Airlines Corporate Club reflects this shift. By combining global connectivity, financial advantages, and a premium travel experience, it offers Greater Birmingham businesses a smarter way to travel, connect, and grow internationally.
