Avanti says that Turksat has an option to extend the contract for a further year.

“We are delighted to have been able to provide this capacity to Turksat which will cover the whole of Turkey,” said Kyle Whitehill, CEO. “This is a significant amount of capacity on Hylas 2 and demonstrates the demand in the regions in which Avanti operates,” added Whitehill.
