Dear Passengers,

Travellers generally choose an airline according to the following four main factors: Convenient departure and arrival times; Reasonable prices; Catering quality; Comfortable seats. For years now Turkish Airlines has planned its timetable so that flights to all its destinations depart at the most convenient times, and have arrival times which are most appropriate for transit passengers catching connecting flights.Our ticket prices offer passengers a range of options which are the outcome of meticulous research and reflect close competition in the world market. Catering menus provided on our aircraft are individually inspected for each route and diversified in accordance with passenger requests.Last year blood circulation disorders suffered by the passengers of some airlines as the alleged result of inactivity during flights drew public attention to the distance between rows of seats. Dissatisfaction among economy class

passengers in particular obliged some airlines to rearrange their cabin seating. Turkish Airlines has always given priority to passenger comfort in every part of the cabin, it has maintained generous leg room between rows of seats at all times. Those of our passengers who fly Business Class on international flights will know that we abide strictly to our double-seat system. We are confident that the information concerning relaxation techniques in a seating position which you will find on the following pages of this issue of Skylife magazine will ensure that you enjoy a more comfortable journey.
All of us at Turkish Airlines appreciate the importance of each and every passenger, and in constant awareness of the highly competitive conditions prevailing in the year 2002, continue to do everything possible to ensure you a safe and trouble-free journey.

I thank you for choosing to fly with Turkish Airlines, and feel sure that you will continue to choose us in future.
Wishing you an enjoyable flight.
