Turkish Airlines' 1st half 2009 figures show an
operating profit of 73 million Euro, a 9% decrease compared to the
same period in 2008.
Net profit however, dropped by 64% to 48 million
Euro, due to the fall on tangible assets caused by the global
recession and its effects on the global aviation sector.
During the same period sales revenue has not
changed in Euro, reaching 1.4 bn Euro.
In parallel to the sales revenue, the upward
growth trend in traffic results continued during the first
half-year.
The number of passengers carried increased by 9%, to 11,237,000, cargo and mail carried
increased by 7% to 102,000 tons. The 19%
expansion in available seat kilometers (ASK) was accompanied by
increasing demand in revenue per kilometer (RPK), which increased
by 11%. The passenger load factor declined by 4.8
percentage points from the previous year, to 68.2%.
