As part of this strategic move, shaped in line with the national flag carrier's 2033 vision, groundbreaking ceremonies were held for eight new facilities with a total investment value exceeding TRY 100 billion at several locations, primarily Istanbul Airport, home base of the flag carrier.

As part of its new investments, Turkish Airlines is implementing the following projects to maintain global leadership in Cargo, Technical Maintenance, and Catering:

Turkish Cargo SmartIST Phase 2 project, which will be one of the world's largest air cargo centers with an annual capacity of 4.5 million tons and is planned to be completed gradually during the 2027-2028 period.

Turkish Airlines Main Catering Facility, positioned as one of the world's largest inflight catering centers with the capacity to serve more than 500,000 passengers per day and expected to become operational during the 2027-2028 period.

Turkish Technic Engine Maintenance Center, set to be completed in 2027, as one of Europe's largest new-generation aircraft engine maintenance centers possessing the capability of servicing Trent XWB-84, Trent XWB-97 and Trent 7000 Rolls Royce engines.

Moreover, Additional Aircraft Maintenance Hangars to be built under Turkish Technic and planned for completion within 2026 will create a simultaneous maintenance capacity for 12 aircraft, increasing the company's current maintenance capability by an average of 20%.

E-Commerce Complex, a key element in the logistics and digital transformation vision and planned to enter service within 2026, further strengthens Turkish Airlines' role in global trade through Widect, its new-generation operational model offering "door-to-door integrated cargo solutions".

Istanbul Data Center, which will form the digital backbone of operational continuity and is planned to become operational during the 2027-2028 period, will elevate the company's technology capacity to a new level with its high-security infrastructure and advanced data management capabilities, while Flight Training Center (Phase 1), scheduled for the 2026-2027 period, is positioned at the center of human resource investments, supporting Turkish Airlines' long-term growth strategy.

Turkish Airlines Additional Crew Terminal Building, planned in line with the expanding operational volume and scheduled for completion within 2026, is included among the investments as a complementary infrastructure element that provides seamless logistics flow between ground services, maintenance, and flight operations.

These investments form the foundation of an integrated growth model that advances operational capacity, technical infrastructure, and digital capabilities in line with Turkish Airlines' 2033 objectives to become one of the world's five largest fleets as the carrier celebrates its centennial. They also serve as the backbone of a strategic aviation ecosystem supporting global operations.
