Turkish Airlines continues to ‘fly high’ in Europe

Turkish Airlines has once again taken the lead in Europe in terms of flight numbers and has been ranked one of the world's top 10 airlines with regard to capacity and performance. As of April 22, operating 711 flights, Turkish Airlines took the lead, “flying more than twice as many flights as the airline in second place,” according to the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol) data, the carrier said Saturday. Official Aviation Guide (OAG) data also showed that the flag carrier was among the top 10 airlines globally in terms of capacity and the leader in Europe. “I believe, just like 2020, we will conclude 2021 as the airline that showed the best management in the face of the pandemic,” said Ilker Aycı, Turkish Airlines’ CEO.<br/>
