Detailed Overview

Despite facing various challenges in the industry, such as trade disruptions and engine-related issues, Turkish Airlines carried 27.2 million passengers during Q3 2025, achieving its highest third-quarter figure to date. The airline increased passenger capacity by 8.2% compared to the same quarter last year, significantly above pre-pandemic levels, leading to a 6.1% rise in passenger revenues. However, profit from operations saw a decline of 21.3% due to softening yields and ongoing cost pressures.

With the continued growth of its partnerships, Turkish Airlines aims to enhance its global connectivity and improve its operational efficiency by expanding its aircraft fleet, targeting over 800 aircraft by 2033.
