I’d rather have TK if it were a choice between them and EY, which it’s not of course. TK would be tonnes more useful to tonnes more people. I’d also prefer a second EK than a competing EY to be honest.
Yes, TK definitely appear have a better route network and hub than EY - but I don't see why it should necessarily be either/or.
I do hope we see something new in that direction by S25, whether it's TK, an EK 2nd daily, or someone else coming in. I suspect the quickest way to persuade EK to go double daily might be getting a competitor in.
TK have a great route network, a fantastic hub at IST and by all accounts a really special lounge there too but it's recliner seats on the GLA-IST which for 3/4 hours is pretty poor compared to the competition.

Interesting interview with EY's CCO to add to this discussion. Apparently they're planning to pretty much double their number of aircraft and pax carried in the next 6 years!
