In A Class Of Its Own

Despite the turbulence in the wake of the failed coup attempt in July, Turkey's national carrier Turkish Airlines has bounced back, not surprisingly, given its past laurels. According to the IATA Wats 2016 global rankings, Turkish Airlines is the sixth largest carrier in terms of international passenger numbers, ninth largest in terms of operating revenue and 11th largest in operating profit. As for network, Turkish flies to more countries than any other other airline in the world – a total of 116 countries and 243 international destinations, based on April 2016 OAG data, with plans to fly to seven more destinations in Africa, five in Europe, three in America, one in Middle East and four in the Far East.

Having its headquarters in Istanbul is a great geographical advantage as the city is the only city in the world connecting two continents, Asia and Europe. Istanbul is located in the heart of the Europe, Middle East and Asia regions which have a high volume of traffic and growth rate.

The new airport (in addition to the Ataturk International Airport and Sabiha Gokcen Airport), coming up in Istanbul will have six runways, four terminals and a 150 million passenger capacity (after Phase 4). By 2023, the airline is poised to fly 120 million passengers on a fleet of more than 500 aircraft, earning revenues of US$ 30 billion.
