Turkish Airlines Almaty

 Turkish Airlines’ mission, as a flag carrier of Turkey, is to provide air transportation services in order to:

-Pioneer the country’s attempts to penetrate world markets,

-Connect all regions with a certain passenger potential within Turkey,

-Serve as a bridge between the CIS countries of the Central Asia, the Balkans, the Middle and Far East, the Americas and Europe.

Turkish Airlines was the first foreign airline to land at Almaty airport in May 1992 after the recognition of the young Republic of Kazakhstan by the government of Turkey within 36 hours after its declaration. At that time the world community knew nothing about Kazakhstan's location, infrastructure and policy, and we were the pioneers who arrived here to establish friendly and business relationship not only between Kazakhstan and Turkey, but also with the whole planet. As it has been agreed between governments the national carriers of both countries started with two operations per week, and these flights for us were considered not to be much commercial at that time but more with a definite purpose to demonstrate the intention of Turkey to support and assist to introduce newborn country to the world. In 1992 the passenger flying from Istanbul to Almaty on Turkish Airlines had to stop in Baku and Tashkent on Boeing 737. Today in conformity with the growth and rapid development of international and local business in Kazakhstan, Turkish Airlines management has found it necessary to operate daily direct flights from Turkey to Almaty on modern and office-equipped aircrafts.

Within this period of time our unvarying principle is to constantly bring about improvements for our passengers. Individual approach, care and interest of Turkish Airlines personnel to every passenger give us wonderful results as according to the last statistic information more then 50 percent of Kazakhstan aviation market share belongs to Turkish Airlines.

The reasons of being popular are several and all of them are of huge significance for us.
