Turkish Airlines Carries 36.4 Million Passengers in Five Months
Turkish Airlines (THY) carried 36.4 million passengers during the first five months of 2026, up to May. This represents a significant 7.3 percent increase compared to the same period last year, underscoring the national carrier’s continued expansion and Turkey’s growing popularity as a travel destination.
The latest figures demonstrate the airline’s strong growth momentum, with May 2026 performance contributing positively to this trend. The sustained demand for air travel to and from Turkey remains high, reflecting the country’s appeal for tourism, business, and as an international transit hub.
This robust passenger growth indicates an active and busy travel market. High demand suggests that flights to Turkey, particularly to major hubs like Istanbul and Antalya, may sell out faster, and airports are likely to experience increased traffic. The consistent expansion strengthens Turkey’s position in the global tourism market, attracting visitors from across the world.
