How is the Market?
Turkish aviation market keeps growing with the increase in the
number of passengers travelling to Turkey as well as increase in
the number of bilateral agreements that Turkey has entered into
with other countries for commercial flights. In 2013, for example,
82,7 million passengers landed in Turkey which made the country the
6th most visited holiday destination in the world with 37,8 million
tourists. In addition to such number of passengers, Turkey has
entered into 161 bilateral agreements with various countries for
commercial flights in the first half of 2014. Needless to say,
Turkey's strategically geographical position with airspace at
the crossroads of three continents and being the bridge between
Asia and Europe have led Turkey to be one of the leading stops for
passengers travelling all around the world. Even Istanbul itself is
located in such a position that 41 different countries can connect
to Istanbul within only 3 hours.
