Title: Turkey Witnesses a Surge in Turkish Airlines Passengers: Will This Reflect on Real Estate Investment?

Turkish Airlines (THY) has announced its financial results for January 2025, revealing a significant increase in passenger numbers compared to the same period last year. The total number of passengers reached 6.8 million, marking an 8.2% rise from January 2024.

This growth was primarily driven by an improvement in seat occupancy rates, which stood at 82.4%, an increase of 2.1 points from the previous year, highlighting the rising demand for travel to and from Turkey.

Increase in Transit Passenger Numbers
One of the key highlights in the report was the 8.5% rise in transit passengers passing through Turkey’s airports, reaching 2.8 million in January 2025, further solidifying Turkey’s position as a global travel hub.

Expansion in Fleet Capacity
The airline also expanded its available seat-kilometers, increasing from 20 billion to 21.5 billion kilometers, showcasing a growing operational capacity. Meanwhile, air cargo volume remained stable at 149.7 thousand tons of goods and mail.

Impact on Real Estate Investment
With the steady increase in passenger traffic and the continued expansion of Turkey’s airport infrastructure, experts anticipate a positive impact on the real estate market, particularly in Istanbul and other major cities, where demand for properties near key transportation hubs is rising.
