Fleet
Turkish Airlines (IATA: TK, ICAO: THY) was established on 20 May 1933 and has grown into one of Europe's largest carriers. As Turkey's national airline and a Star Alliance member, it operates a modern fleet of over 516 aircraft serving 352 destinations across 131 countries, making it a key connector between Europe, Asia, and Africa.
The airline maintains four major hubs: Istanbul Atatürk Airport (primary hub), Ankara Esenboğa Airport, Antalya International Airport, and Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport. This network structure allows Turkish Airlines to serve both domestic Turkish routes and extensive international connections through its Istanbul hub, which handles a significant portion of its long-haul operations.
The fleet comprises modern aircraft including the Airbus A320 family (A319, A320, A321, A321neo) for short and medium routes, the Airbus A330 and A350 for long-haul services, and Boeing widebodies (777, 787) for premium intercontinental flights. This mix supports both high-frequency regional services and intercontinental routes with varying cabin configurations.
