Turkish Airlines has announced robust third-quarter results for 2025, posting a profit from main operations of USD 1.1 billion, reflecting the carrier’s continued growth momentum despite global aviation challenges.
Total revenues rose 4.9% year-on-year to nearly USD 7 billion in Q3, bringing year-to-date revenues to USD 17.8 billion. Consolidated assets reached USD 43.2 billion, with total employment surpassing 101,000 across the group. Investments in the first nine months amounted to USD 3.6 billion, in line with the airline’s 2033 strategic targets.
During the July–September 2025 period, Turkish Airlines carried 27.2 million passengers, marking its highest-ever third-quarter traffic, with passenger capacity up 8.2% over the same period last year — and 43% above pre-pandemic levels.
Despite yield softening and cost pressures, EBITDAR stood at USD 2.1 billion with a 29.6% margin, while the full-year margin is expected to remain within the 22–24% target range.
Commenting on the results, Prof. Ahmet Bolat, Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee, said:
“Our third-quarter profit once again underscores Turkish Airlines’ adaptability and resilience. We remain focused on long-term, sustainable growth as we advance toward our 2033 strategy.”
The carrier also expanded its strategic partnerships, signing a deal to acquire a minority stake in Air Europa, strengthening connectivity between Türkiye and Spain and enhancing access to Latin American markets.
Turkish Airlines’ fleet grew 8.4% year-on-year to 506 aircraft, with new orders placed for Boeing 787 and 737 MAX models as part of its plan to reach over 800 aircraft by 2033.
Steadily advancing toward its Centennial Strategy, Turkish Airlines continues to consolidate its position as one of the world’s leading and most resilient global carriers.
