Turkish Airlines operates in more countries than any other airline and ranks as the 12th largest carrier by capacity, but it climbs to ninth place when measured by ASKs due to longer-than-average sector lengths.
The airline expanded services to nearly all regional markets in 2024, from its new and growing hub in Istanbul, increasing capacity to the USA and United Kingdom.
Turkish Airlines also faced some challenges in 2024 and reduced capacity to its second-largest market Germany (-13% YoY); this reflects a broader market weakness in the German market also affecting other carriers.
Holding an 80% share of capacity at Istanbul Airport (IST), Turkish dominates the local market and carries significant volumes of transfer traffic; two-thirds of all passengers in 2024 connected to other routes.
London Heathrow is the largest international market for Turkish Airlines,served bymultiple wide-bodied flights each day on the sector.
