One of our high priorities is to take our air transport service to all points with passenger potential both in Turkey and abroad. We are therefore engaged in efforts to enlarge and rejuvenate our fleet.
I have said earlier that the entry of private airline companies into the market will bring a vital and dynamic competitive environment to the sector. In the last two months there has been a significant increase in Turkish Airlines’ passengers both domestic and international. We would like to thank you for the confidence you have shown in us.
In order to ensure that many more passengers can take advantage of air travel, we have begun offering discounts on tickets for domestic flights. One important factor that enables us to offer a discount of around TL 30 million per ticket is that Turkish Airlines became profitable months earlier than originally anticipated. We will soon be adding another discount of TL 10-20 million per ticket following the new tax law that went into effect on 1 December. We will also continue to fly you more safely and economically
