Maintaining
its position as the network carrier operating the highest number of flights in
Europe, Turkish Airlines sustained its steady growth throughout 2025 despite
geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties caused by trade wars, as well
as aircraft delivery and engine supply issues in the aviation industry. Despite production bottlenecks, our Company
expanded its fleet by 5% year over year to 516 aircraft by the end of 2025 and
welcomed the “second 500” period with 92.6 million
passengers and 2.2 million
tons of cargo, recording the highest operational results in its history.
In
2025, our Company’s total revenues increased by 6.3% year over year to 24.1 billion
USD supported by the strong contribution from the passenger operations. Passenger revenues increased by 7.4%, driven
by favorable demand in international and premium segments. The decline in cargo
unit yields stemming from the slowdown in global trade volumes and the adverse
effects of tariffs was offset by a 16.6% increase in cargo volume, resulting in
3.4 billion USD of cargo
revenue. Under ongoing inflation driven
cost pressures and engine issues, our Company’s
2025 Profit from Main Operations was recorded at 2.2 billion USD.
Commenting
on 2025 third quarter results, Turkish Airlines Chairman
of the Board and the Executive Committee, Prof. Ahmet Bolat stated:
“Despite an exceptionally challenging and unpredictable operating
environment, the financial success we achieved in 2025 once again showed our
ability to adapt to rapidly changing commercial and geopolitical conditions
thanks to our diversified revenue structure.
In line with our long-term value creation objectives, the investments we
implemented and the commercial partnerships we established throughout 2025
served as milestones that further expanded our global reach and contributed to
our Company’s continued progress toward its Centennial vision.”
In
2025, EBITDAR, indicating the Company’s operational cash generation capacity,
was recorded at 5.7 billion
USD, while the EBITDAR margin exceeded the mid-point target set at the beginning
of the year, reaching 23.7%. As the strong performance in late 2025 continued
in the early months of 2026, the 2026 EBITDAR margin is projected to be in the
22–24% range, in line with the Company’s long-term target.
Concluding
2025 with successful results, Turkish Airlines continues to lead the industry
with its unparalleled flight network, modern fleet, superior service and strong
performance. In the coming years, our contribution to the sustainable growth of
the aviation sector will continue to increase in line with our Centennial
Strategy and our country’s development objectives.
