Turkish Airlines posted a third-quarter profit of US$1.1 billion from main operations, underscoring its financial resilience amid global trade disruptions and industry-wide engine supply challenges.

While this figure marks a 21.3% decline year-over-year due to softening yields and elevated costs, the carrier maintained its long-term growth trajectory and operational strength.

Total revenue for the quarter rose 4.9% to approximately US$7 billion, driven primarily by passenger operations.

Despite margin pressure, Turkish Airlines recorded an EBITDAR of US$2.1 billion, with a margin of 29.6%.

The airline expects its full-year EBITDAR margin to remain within its target range of 22%–24%, supported by strong forward bookings.

"The profit we achieved in the third quarter of 2025 once again underscored Turkish Airlines' adaptability under a wide range of operational conditions through its diversified revenue structure," said Prof. Ahmet Bolat, chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee.

"As Türkiye's most valuable brand on the international stage and a global leader in worldwide aviation sector, we will continue to grow and invest in line with our 2033 strategy. Our focus goes beyond profitability – we are committed to achieving long-term and sustainable success."

The airline also advanced its strategic investments during the quarter, including a minority stake agreement with Spain's Air Europa to strengthen connectivity between Türkiye and Spain and open new tourism markets in Latin America.

Fleet expansion continued as well, with Turkish Airlines increasing its aircraft count to 506—up 8.4% year-over-year—and finalizing orders with Boeing for up to 225 aircraft to support its 2033 goal of operating more than 800 aircraft.

The carrier said it remains committed to sustainable growth and operational efficiency as part of its Centennial Strategy.
