This leadership was supported by a strategic expansion of its operational capacity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fleet Expansion<\/strong>: Despite aircraft production bottlenecks, the fleet grew <strong>5% year-on-year<\/strong>, ending the year with <strong>516 aircraft<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Passenger Record<\/strong>: The company transported <strong>92.6 million passengers<\/strong>, driven by strong demand in the international and premium segments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Passenger Revenue<\/strong>: Grew by <strong>7.4%<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Workforce and Assets<\/strong>: The total number of employees, including subsidiaries, exceeded <strong>101,000 professionals<\/strong>, while consolidated assets reached <strong>$46.6 billion<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cargo Sector Performance and Market Challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The air cargo division faced a complex environment due to the slowdown in global trade and tariff tensions. However, a volume-based strategy allowed the carrier to mitigate the decline in unit yields:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>2025 Cargo Indicator<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Result<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Cargo Volume<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2.2 million tons (+16.6%)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Cargo Revenue<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$3.4 billion<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This success was achieved despite cost pressures derived from inflation and recurring technical issues with engines affecting the entire aviation industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategic Investments and Outlook for 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In line with its &#8220;Strategic Century View,&#8221; Turkish Airlines executed investments worth <strong>$6 billion<\/strong> in 2025 alone. Over the last five years, the total cumulative investment figure amounts to approximately <strong>$20 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead, Prof. Ahmet Bolat, Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, highlighted that the diversified revenue structure has been key to adapting to changing commercial and geopolitical conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For 2026, the airline maintains an optimistic outlook based on strong performance during January and February. The EBITDAR margin is projected to remain within the <strong>22% to 24% range<\/strong>, meeting strategic objectives for sustainable growth and national development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
