will be not only be in the nature of an aircraft body and engine maintenance base but also a training base for pilots and cabin crew for all of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, the Turkic Republics and Asia. Recognized throughout the world as Turkey’s most cherished trademark, Turkish Airlines is pursuing its new initiatives with the confidence you have shown. I would like to close with the hope that the Ramazan Holiday we celebrate in November will bring peace, friendship and tranquility to the entire world, and to wish you a pleasant flight.
