On Thursday, the company laid the foundations for eight new facilities with a total investment value exceeding TL 100 billion ($2.32 billion) at several locations, primarily its home base Istanbul Airport.
The projects include investments in Europe's largest wide-body aircraft engine maintenance facility, the world's largest aircraft catering facility, the second phase of SmartIST, which will be the world's largest cargo terminal, additional aircraft maintenance hangars, and an e-commerce complex.
The investments, which will start with 26,000 new jobs in 2026, will provide over 36,000 jobs when all phases are completed, Turkish Airlines Chair Ahmet Bolat said.
