Turkish Airlines (THY) CEO Bilal Ekşi said at the "Turkey Nation Brand Forum" held at Maslak TIM Expo Center by the Director of Communications, that the company aims to grow by more than 10 percent in 2023. We will be in a position to have 2,600 cabin crew and 1,200 pilots. "In 2003, our cabin crew was 1579. When we come to 2022, we will already have 12 thousand 841 cabin crew. In 2023, we will recruit 600 new cabin crew. In 2003, we had 651 pilots and this number increased 9 times and reached 5,793. We are adding 1200 new pilots to our team and we are growing at almost the same rate as Turkish Airlines in 2003.
Reminding that Turkish Airlines had 65 aircraft in 2003, Ekşi said, "In 2022, it will reach 390 aircraft. Turkish Airlines, which increased its fleet 6 times, was 35th in the world in 2003 in its fleet, but now we are talking about an airline that has risen to 9th place in the world. It is a result of our strategy of having a strong network and a strong fleet, from local to global. THY General Manager Ekşi stated that they fly to 342 different destinations around the world, and we flew to 52 countries in 2003. Istanbul now flies to 342 destinations and 129 states. We are an airline that flies to most countries in the world. "Imagine that VIA flies to 129 countries of the world with the Turkish flag, and people use Turkish Airlines. These people know that they will come and land in a city called Istanbul, and they know that they will go to another place from there," he said.
