Turkish Airlines posted a 24% first-quarter net income increase to TRY155 million ($98.5 million) on a 17% rise in revenue to TRY1.28 billion. Passengers carried lifted 8% to 4.9 million and cargo transported rose 7% to 48,000 tons. Passenger traffic heightened 9% on a 15% lift in capacity. Load factor fell 3.7 points to 66.1%. THY said lower fuel prices are "a positive signal" and it believes it can "sustain positive results for the coming periods."

Turkish Airlines, the country's state-run carrier, said on Friday first-quarter net profit fell 24 percent to TRY155 million lira (USD$99 million).

Sales rose 18 percent to TRY1.279 billion, the company said in a statement.
Decreasing fuel prices had a positive effect on fuel expenses, whose share of total expenses declined to 22 percent from 32 percent, the company said in a statement.
Turkish Airlines posted a net profit of TRY203.55 million in the first quarter of 2008, it said in a statement. An airline spokesman said the profit figures published adhered to new disclosure rules set by the Istanbul Stock Exchange.

Turkish Airlines has expanded its fleet to 132 from 102 at the start of 2008 as it seeks to take market share from European rivals.
But all airlines face slower traffic. World airline traffic fell 12 percent in March alone amid an expected global recession.
The increased capacity has led to more empty seats. Despite lifting passenger numbers by 8.4 percent to 4.9 million people in the first quarter, its passenger load factor fell to 66 percent in March.

Airbus on Friday confirmed Turkish Airlines' order for three A330-300s and an MOU for two A330-200Fs. It said the 319-seat -300s will begin delivering in September 2010 rather than the originally reported 2012 (ATWOnline, Nov. 3). THY now has ordered 10 A330-300s.

Turkish Airlines reported a TRY374 million ($253.8 million) profit in the third quarter, a 7% drop from the year-ago period but a result that the airline said recovered some of the ground lost during the first half of 2009.

Third-quarter revenue rose 17% to TRY2.89 billion and THY's operating profit soared 51% to TRY454 million.

"The aviation sector is still exposed to the effects on the ongoing global financial crisis. In such a difficult environment, Turkish Airlines' positive operational and financial results is an indicator of the effectiveness of the strategic decisions taken and the sucess of the implemantations of these decisions," THY said.

The nine-month profit of TRY476 million represented a 27% reduction year-over-year, but operating profit climbed 35% to TRY610 million on a 15% increase in revenue.

Nine-month passenger numbers rose 10% to 18.6 million. Traffic measured in RPKs was up 14% year-over-year against a 21% lift in capacity. Load factor fell 4 points to 70.9%.

Turkish close to decision on ordering 747-8s or A380s

Turkish Airlines Chairman Hamdi Topcu told ATW in Seattle on Tuesday that THY is “evaluating” proposals to order either 747-8s or A380s by year end. He said the carrier is also deciding whether to order additional 737-900s and is in talks with Airbus regarding a possible A320 order.

Topcu said that “depending on the financial offers” from Boeing and Airbus, the airline could move to acquire production slots freed up by other airlines’ order cancellations.

THY CEO Temel Kotil told ATW recently that the carrier will decide on a possible A350/787 order in early 2011 (ATW Daily News, Oct. 4).

Topcu was in Seattle to accept delivery of the first of 12 new 777-300ERs THY has on order. Four more of the type will arrive this year with the remaining seven slated to be delivered during the first eight months of next year. The 337-seat 777-300ER is configured for 28 business-class seats, 63 "economy-comfort class" seats and 246 economy seats. THY will return four leased 777-300s by the end of this year.

Turkish Airlines (THY) is looking to add two regional jets to its fleet.

The carrier says it aims to deploy two 70-100 seat regional jets on thinner routes to neighbouring countries.

THY is evaluating dry-leasing options with Bombardier and Embraer and says it could place an order soon.

At the moment, THY's smallest aircraft is an Airbus A319.

THY's spin-off operation Anadolu Jet last month wet-leased two ATR 72 turboprops from Turkish carrier Borajet.

Orhan Sivrikaya, Chief Commercial Officer of Turkish Airlines, is to explain how around 100 airports across Europe, the Middle East and Africa could benefit from new THY routes because of the unique geographical benefits of its rocketing Istanbul hub.

The airline has positioned itself as a serious competitor to the MEB3 (the Middle East Big Three of Etihad, Qatar and Emirates) with an ability to provide feed for Istanbul from many more airports in Europe, and the Middle East with smaller 737-800 aircraft, compared to the A330/777 widebody feed of the MEB3 competitors which can only serve a smaller range of destinations.

“Right now, Turkish serves around 70 cities in Europe, but with over 60 737-800s on order, this will double” promised Dr Temel Kotil, President and CEO Turkish Airlines, in a recent interview with anna.aero.

This strategy is not a dream, it is a plan bearing real results: Turkish Airlines is surging ahead, it has so far had the best recession of any AEA airline in terms of traffic growth, profitability, and response to much-enhanced competition. Five years ago, it had 10 million passengers and now it has over 30 million making it the fourth-biggest flag-carrier in Europe, after Lufthansa, Air France and British Airways although last year’s near 20% growth means it may soon overtake British Airways for third place.

The carrier needs aircraft bigger than its current largest model, 330-seater Boeing 777s, and it is looking at the 747-8 and the Airbus A380, Chief Executive Officer Temel Kotil said in a Bloomberg TV interview in Beijing yesterday, where he is attending an industry meeting. He declined to comment on how many planes the carrier may order and when.
We need more big machines,” he said. “It’s urgent.”
The airline’s passenger traffic has jumped 28 percent this year, more than triple the global growth rate, as it builds up a network connecting travelers in Asia, Europe and Africa. The airline also expects to boost profit this year even as a debt crisis in Europe slows global economic growth.
“This year’s going to be much better,” Kotil said, ahead of the International Air Transport Association annual meeting. The carrier made an 18.5 million lira ($10 million) profit last year. Analysts had expected a loss.
Turkish Air has grown the seventh-largest network worldwide, with 182 destinations, Kotil said. The expansion has helped boost earnings as fixed costs are spread over a bigger operation. The airline’s costs are about 30 percent less than European carriers’ on average, Kotil said.
China-Africa Flights
The airline has 39 long-haul jets, according to its website, including 12 Boeing 777s and 17 passenger Airbus A330s. It hasn’t ordered either Boeing 787s or Airbus A350s. The carrier is unlikely to buy these planes as it wants aircraft larger than 777s, Kotil said.
The A380 in three class configuration seats 525 passengers though can carry more than 800 if set up exclusively for coach passengers. The 747-8 seats about 467 people in a three-class configuration.
Turkish serves 20 points in Africa, more than any of the Gulf region carriers, Kotil said. This network is helping the airline draw travelers from mainland China, which has limited direct flights to the continent, he said.
Within China, Turkish is hoping to increase frequencies on its Shanghai and Beijing services to twice daily. It is also looking to add five new destinations including Chengdu and Urumqi.
Kotil declined to comment on whether 305 employees terminated without compensation for taking part in a go-slow action on May 29 would be rehired. The employees were let go after parliament passed a measure banning airline workers from strikes.
