Turkish Airlines (airline code TK), is the national airline of Turkey. It is based at Istanbul's Ataturk airport, but also has hubs at Istanbul's secondary Sabiha Gokcen airport and Ankara's Esenboga International airport.

Ownership

Turkish Airlines was set up in 1933 by the Ministry of Defence, but was privatised in 1990. The Turkish government retains a 49% stake. Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa have a joint partnership in a charter subsidiary, SunExpress.

Route Network

Turkey is unusual in that its main air hub is not in the country's capital, Ankara, but in the old capital of Istanbul. Turkish Airlines serves almost 120 international routes and more than 30 domestic destinations. To see where Turkish Airlines flies, click here.
