Around 109.6 million people took domestic flights, marking an increase of almost 7 percent during the same period.

Turkish airports served 1.5 million planes, rising 3.2 percent compared to 2016.

The total amount of air cargo in November 2017 also saw an increase of 10 percent to reach 3.4 million tons.

Meanwhile, Turkey's busiest airports were Istanbul's Sabiha Gökçen and Atatürk international airports with total 95.1 million passengers in 2017, up from 90 million previous year, according to Turkey's General Directorate of State Airports Authority.
