More Growth, More Profits and Blue Flying Skies Ahead for Turkish Airlines
Turkish Airlines, a Star Alliance group member, has become a powerful player in the airline industry. Of the total 171 routes they fly, 41 are domestic with the remaining 130 being to international destinations. While their main base is at Ataturk International Airport, they operate flights all over the world, from North and South America, to Europe, Asia and Africa. They have experienced a significant increase in passengers using the airline as well as revenues and profits over the past four years. In 2006, they flew a total of 17 million passengers with a total of 2.2 billion USD. The company made approximately 4 billion USD in 2009, with more than 25 million passengers using the airline, making it a terrific year for them.
By February 2011, Air Transport World, one of the airline industry’s leading magazines, awarded Turkish Airlines the “2011 Market Leadership Award”. The award was presented at a celebration in Washington D.C. and is considered an internationally recognized level of accomplishment.
The last few years of economic difficulties has proved to be a very challenging business environment for many companies globally. It’s a known fact that the airline industry generally follows the movements of the globally economy. Despite this trend, Turkish Airlines continually showed strong profits as proof of its strong leadership and innovative marketing plans. Turkey’s number one airline had a very busy month during October of 2010. The airline flew the first Boeing 777-300ER which is an extended range aircraft. The airline has ordered 12 of these very modern technological aircrafts from Boeing. As a matter of fact, Turkish Airlines is not keeping it a secret that its strategies involve getting into the competitive markets of the US and Asia. They have long term and consistent plans to continue setting up shop all around the world in a very quick manner. Everything about Turkish Airlines suggests that it is taking advantage of the best resources available. It is easy to tell this just from the services that they supply.
