Turkish Airlines reported organic profit of $2.2 billion in 2025, demonstrating the resilience of its business model and long-term growth strategy despite geopolitical tensions, trade wars, and supply chain challenges in the airline industry.
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $6.3 billion, up 12% year-over-year, with full-year revenue exceeding $24 billion.
Core operating profit in the fourth quarter increased 23% year-over-year to $534 million, contributing to a total of $2.2 billion for the year.
For the full year, total revenue increased 6.3% to $24.1 billion, driven primarily by strong passenger demand.
Passenger revenue increased 7.4%, driven by international travel and premium segment demand.
Although freight unit prices declined due to the slowdown in global trade and tariffs, freight volumes increased by 16.6%, generating $3.4 billion in freight revenue.
On the operational front, the airline continued to expand despite aircraft delivery delays and engine supply issues.
The fleet grew by 5% to 516 aircraft, carrying 92.6 million passengers and 2.2 million tons of cargo, achieving the company’s best-ever operational performance.

The company will invest $6 billion in 2025, bringing its total investment over the past five years to approximately $20 billion.
