Turkey has posted a record annual airspace revenue exceeding 33 billion lira, an all-time high, according to figures carried by TRT Haber. The result is attributed to a steady rise in transit flights and the modernisation of the country's air traffic control infrastructure.
Officials underline that Turkey's location at the crossroads of European, Asian and Middle Eastern routes is becoming a strategic advantage at a time when global airline traffic is being reshaped. Records from the state airports authority show that overflight volumes for both passenger and cargo carriers grew through the year. For investors the picture means a strengthening hard-currency revenue base for the aviation sector.
Government sources said additional airspace capacity planning and new regional control centres are on the agenda for the year ahead. Industry representatives flagged staff training needs and automation investment as the decisive factors in sustaining the trend.
