The “world’s biggest network carrier” is Turkish Airlines

This way, the carrier took a step forward when compared to its competitors, as it continues its ascension following what was probably the most difficult of times for the worldwide sector.

According to global passenger traffic data, Turkish Airlines was chosen by more than 15 million passengers during July and August 2022, surpassing the company's pre-pandemic records and making it the “world’s biggest network carrier”.

Turkish Airlines’ Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee, Prof. Dr. Ahmet Bolat, proudly commented:

“We are the world’s biggest network carrier when it comes to seat count on international flights. [...]

“With the effects of the worldwide pandemic lessening, global competition in the aviation sector continues at a higher level from where it left off. As an exemplary airline with its performance during the crisis, we are happy to fly to success after the crisis has passed as well. Our goal was to surpass our 2019 performance which we managed to do so with the efforts of our 65 thousand strong work force.

“While the aviation sector shrunk by 19 percent during August compared to 2019 on the available seat kilometres, we grew by 14 percent on the same metric. Thus, as of August, we became the world’s biggest network carrier when it comes to available seat capacity on international flights. Every member of our family contributed to this success.”
