Turkish Airlines operates in more countries than any other airline and ranks as the 12th largest carrier by capacity, climbing to ninth place when measured by ASKs due to longer-than-average sector lengths.
The airline's growth of 7.2% in 2025 is driven by an 8% increase in international capacity, while domestic capacity increased by 5%.
Turkish Airlines reduced the number of routes operated slightly in 2025, down 0.5% to 818 routes.
When compared to pre-pandemic levels in 2019, only the Middle East market is down on 2019 levels, with a reduction in capacity of 23%. Overall, the airline is 12% larger than in 2019.
Turkish Airlines' domestic capacity accounts for 24% of the airline's total operation and all of the carrier's top four routes connect Istanbul with other Turkish cities.
