About Turkish Airlines
Founded in 1933 by the architect of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, Turkish Airlines at the time had a tiny fleet of five planes able to carry a total of 28 people. The company, which made its first domestic flight in 1933 and its first international flight in 1947, has now become a reliable and friendly brand name with a smile, not only for Turks but for citizens of the whole world who prefer it for their travels. Over 12 million passengers a year currently choose Turkish Airlines. The Turkish flag flies through the skies of four continents, carrying passengers on direct flights to a total of 107 destinations, 29 at home and 78 abroad.
