THY Under Consideration for Privatization

Stating that THY possessed important advantages by reason of its 70-year history, Gundogdu said: "First of all, it has an established structure. From the viewpoint of human resources, THY has professional personnel. It operates numerous flights within Turkey and to many places around the world. It has a special future of ‘carrying the flag’ for Turkey, which is at the center of the map of the world. You can fly to every point of the world in 10 to 12 hours. The presence of nearly 5 millions Turks in various countries carries important potential for THY. This is one of the reasons why THY is making a leap to foreign countries."

Gundogdu said that thanks to THY flights to numerous destinations around the world, the Turkish economy and the country’s industries were being benefited. He added that although they did not earn a profit from it, they were continuously trying to develop new routes.
