Looking at data from the peak season of 2022, Istanbul is the most popular destination in Türkiye, with both its airports (Istanbul and Sabiha Gokcen) representing 40% of international traffic.

Growth markets include the UAE with capacity more than doubling since 2019, and the USA which has 63% more seats now than 4 years ago.
