As an Argentinian, I am happy Turkish Airlines is having another destination Buenos Aires from Istanbul.\u201d<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\u201cWe have held the title of Europe\u2019s Best Airline now for two consecutive years and it makes perfect sense that we align ourselves with the best and most recognizable sports figures in the word,\u201d said Turkish Airlines Member of the Board, \u0130smail Gercek. \u201cSigning a global sports star like Messi only solidifies our leading position as one of the world\u2019s fastest growing airlines flying to a record number of countries across the globe.\u201d <br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>In September 2012, Messi shot a commercial for the airline with Kobe Bryant. In the airlines\u2019 latest commercial, the duo \u2013competes to win the attention of a young boy. The latest commercial was a collaborative effort among producers, actors and crew members from Turkey, the Netherlands, Spain and the United States. Shot partly at Istanbul\u2019s Ataturk Airport and partly in other countries abroad, the commercial will air worldwide late this year.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>In working with Leo Messi, Turkish Airlines will maintain a global focus promoting its award-winning service. Having been named FIFA Best Player in the last three seasons and currently being a finalist for this year\u2019s FIFA player of the year, Messi\u2019s visibility and worldwide popularity will be instrumental in helping Turkish Airlines reach new heights on a global scale. &nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Aside from this recent announcement, Turkish Airlines has reached several milestones in recent months including adding the 200th aircraft to its growing fleet and flying to 92 countries, more than any other airline in the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: International soccer superstar Leo Messi was named Global Brand Ambassador for Turkish Airlines at a ceremony today at the Camp Nou Stadium in Barcelona, Spain, after signing theagreement in September 2012.The FC Barcelona forward joins the ranks of Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant and professional tennis player Caroline Wozniacki who have been [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[7507],"class_list":["post-12166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-world-football-news","tag-leo-messi"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Argentine soccer star Leo Messi named global brand ambassador for Turkish Airlines - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
