Turkish Airlines is the national flag carrier of Türkiye and one of the world’s largest and most globally connected airlines. Founded in 1933 with just five aircraft, the airline has grown into a major international carrier headquartered in Istanbul. Its main hub is the Istanbul Airport, a key global transit point that bridges Europe, Asia, and the Middle East—perfectly reflecting Turkish Airlines’ motto, “Widen Your World.”

The airline operates an extensive network, flying to more countries than any other airline—serving over 120 nations across six continents. Its modern fleet consists of Airbus and Boeing aircraft, offering passengers a choice of Business Class and Economy Class, both known for exceptional service and authentic Turkish hospitality.

Turkish Airlines’ inflight experience stands out for its award-winning cuisine crafted by onboard “Flying Chefs,” a diverse entertainment system, and a strong emphasis on comfort. Frequent travelers can join the Miles&Smiles loyalty program, earning miles redeemable for flights, upgrades, and partner rewards across the Star Alliance network, of which Turkish Airlines is a proud member.

Beyond passenger travel, the airline operates Turkish Cargo, one of the fastest-growing air freight divisions in the world. It also invests heavily in training and sustainability, with initiatives focused on fleet modernization and eco-friendly operations.

With its strategic geographic position, world-class service, and commitment to connecting people and cultures, Turkish Airlines continues to represent Türkiye on the global stage as a symbol of excellence, reliability, and hospitality in aviation.
