IATA: Türkiye becomes major global aviation Hub

Türkiye has positioned itself as a major global aviation hub through significant investments in modern airport infrastructure and strong airline networks, International Air Transport Association (IATA) chief economist Marie Owens Thomsen has said.

Türkiye’s strategic location connecting Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa has enabled the country to establish itself as an important global aviation hub, she told state-run Anadolu Agency.

According to Thomsen, this position provides strong transit connections and has made Türkiye an important center in global air transport and trade flows.

“To further strengthen this role, Türkiye’s priority should be to maintain its cost competitiveness and sustain a stable and predictable regulatory environment,” she said.
