Being initially set up as a domestic carrier, the airline commenced international services with the inauguration of Ankaraâ€“Istanbulâ€“Athens flights in 1947; with the DC-3s and C-47s enabling the carrier to expand its network.Nicosia, Beirut and Cairo were soon added to the airline’s international flight destinations. However, domestic services remained the carrier’s primary focus until the early 1960s.WEB,www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Turkish-Airlines-Inc-Tuuml;rk-Hava-Yollari-AO-Company-History.html, History of Turkish Airlines Inc.

(often abbreviated as THY). It was capitalized at TRY 60 million. The airline joined the International Air Transport Association (IATA) shortly thereafter. In 1957, British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) began supplying technical support after acquiring a 6.5 percent shareholding, which it held for about 20 years.New aircraft including Vickers Viscounts, Fokker F27s and Douglas DC-3s were added to the fleet in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Turkish Airlines began operating their first jet, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9, in 1967. This was followed by the addition of three Boeing 707 jets in 1971. Other aircraft operated in the early 1970s included the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and the Fokker F28 which were put into service in 1972 and 1973 respectively.

1980s and 1990s

File:Boeing 707-321B, Turkish Airlines AN1104611.jpg|thumb|250px|left|A Boeing 707 operated by Turkish Airlines at Heathrow Airport Heathrow AirportThe airline was plagued by several issues in the 1980s and 90s. It developed a reputation for poor service compared to competitors and flight delays, with 47 out of 100 flights not departing on time.{{Sfn|Åžekerli|2021|p=863}} It also endured hijackings and suffered seven accidents between 1974 and 1983. The most notorious was the 1974 crash of Turkish Airlines Flight 981, when an aircraft design flaw led to a faulty cargo door breaking off in flight near Ermenonville, France, resulting in the deaths of 346 people. At the time of the accident, THY981 was the worst plane crash of all time.WEB,www.nytimes.com/1974/03/04/archives/345-killed-as-jumbo-jet-dives-into-french-forest-in-historys-worst.html, 345 KILLED AS JUMBO JET DIVES INTO FRENCH FOREST IN HISTORY’S WORST CRASH, The New York Times, 4 March 1974, 16 March 2024, A new government came to power in 1983 which recognized THY’s importance as Turkey’s gateway to the world, beginning the airline’s makeover into a modern operation. It would go on to maintain one of the youngest fleets in the world. Security was intensified, causing one shipper to compare it to Israel’s El Al, at least in terms of delays.THY built a new, state-of-the-art technical center at YeÅŸilkÃ¶y Airport in 1984. The airline was capable of both light and heavy maintenance on many different aircraft types. The technical staff then made up one-quarter of the airline’s 6,000 employees, according to Air Transport World. In 1984, the company’s capital was raised to 60 billion TL as it was classified as a state economic enterprise. Three years later, the capital was raised again, to 150 billion TL.File:Turkish Airlines Boeing 737-400; TC-JDY@ZRH;02.10.1995 (8353903774).jpg|thumb|Turkish Airlines Boeing 737 at Zurich Airport Zurich AirportBy the mid-1980s, THY had a fleet of 30 aircraft. It was flying approximately three million passengers a year to 16 domestic destinations and three dozen international ones. The airline was Turkey’s largest source of foreign currency. Turkish Airlines began operating Airbus A310s in 1985, allowing the addition of flights to Singapore in 1986. A route to New York City via Brussels was added in 1987.WEB, 25 June 2020, THY, 87 yÄ±lda kÃ¼resel marka haline geldi,www.aa.com.tr/tr/sirkethaberleri/ulasim/turkiyenin-bayrak-tasiyicisi-thy-87-yilda-kuresel-marka-haline-geldi-/657368,web.archive.org/web/20200625231741/https://www.aa.com.tr/tr/sirkethaberleri/ulasim/turkiyenin-bayrak-tasiyicisi-thy-87-yilda-kuresel-marka-haline-geldi-/657368, 25 June 2020, 25 December 2022, The company posted losses in 1987 and 1988, largely due to high payments on its dozen new Airbus A310s, according to Air Transport World. The fleet also included 11 Boeing 727s and nine Douglas DC-9s. THY ended the decade with 8,500 employees.The airline ordered five Airbus A340 aircraft with option for five more in 1990 to be able to fly to North American and East Asian destinations non-stop. The first A340 was delivered three years later, in 1993.{{Sfn|Åžekerli|2021|p=865}}The company suffered in the global aviation crisis following the Persian Gulf War and would not break-even again until 1994. However, the business was again booming in the mid-1990s, with the greatest growth coming from North American destinations. {{Citation needed|date=December 2016}} THY launched a nonstop flight to New York City in July 1994.The company’s capital continued to be raised, reaching 10 trillion TL in 1995. During that year, the airline also converted three of its Boeing 727s to dedicated freighters. The DC-9s had been sold off. The company posted a $6 million profit on revenues of $1 billion for the year. While profitable, THY had to contend with Turkey’s exorbitant inflation, making capital improvements difficult.The domestic market was deregulated in 1996, allowing new scheduled competition from charter airlines. At the same time, larger international carriers were providing stiff competition on routes to Western Europe. THY entered into marketing agreements with other international airlines to enhance their competitiveness. The company teamed with Japan Airlines to offer service to Osaka and Tokyo in 1997 and 1998. Other jointly operated flights soon followed with Austrian Airlines, Swissair, and Croatia Airlines. In 1997, THY began to operate flights to Chicago as its second destination in the US.WEB, iha.com.tr, TÃ¼rk Hava YollarÄ±’nÄ±n Chicago’da 20. yÄ±lÄ±,www.iha.com.tr/haber-turk-hava-yollarinin-chicagoda-20-yili-673034/, 25 December 2022, Ä°hlas Haber AjansÄ±, tr,

An Antalya-Frankfurt route was added in 2001 through a code-sharing agreement with Sun Express.Turkey underwent an economic crisis throughout most of 2001, leading to a reduction in traffic on domestic routes in particular. THY managed to survive after the September 11 attacks on the United States without a government bailout or mass layoffs, although 300 middle management positions were eliminated, 400 part-timers were laid off and wages were cut 10 percent. Turkish Daily News credited the airline’s survival to entrepreneurial management, which was quick to get rid of loss-making routes at home and abroad.{{Citation needed|date=October 2019}}In 2003, the war in Iraq prompted Turkish Airlines to close some routes in the Persian Gulf, while flights to Asia were suspended during the SARS epidemic. However, the airline soon recovered, increasing traffic on existing routes and adding service to Delhi after an 11-year lapse.Another fleet expansion program kicked off in 2004, helping THY maintain one of the youngest fleets in Europe. In July that year, the airline announced a massive $2.8 billion order of 36 jets from Airbus, plus an order for 15 Boeing 737s.THY was not just ordering new planes. It was planning to spend $350 million on a new technical and training facility at Istanbul’s underutilized Sabiha GÃ¶kÃ§en International Airport. The airline had built up a significant technical services operation, maintaining not just their aircraft but those of third parties. Turkish Technic employed 2,700 workers and was planning to hire another 2,000 by 2010. THY also had three flight simulators and offered flight training services.The airline faced the entry of new competitors into the liberalizing Turkish aviation market. However, tourism was booming, with 20 million people expected to visit the country in 2005 versus 12 million in 2003. THY divested its 50% holding in Cyprus Turkish Airlines (KÄ±brÄ±s TÃ¼rk Hava YollarÄ±) in 2005.Although the company was publicly traded at this time, the government-owned 98% of its shares. The privatization program was revived in 2004 with a public offering of 20% of shares on the Istanbul Stock Exchange. The Turkish government-owned 75% of shares after the offering, which raised $170 million. Currently, the Turkey Wealth Fund owns a 49.12% interest in THY, while 50.88% of shares are publicly traded.WEB,investor.turkishairlines.com/en/turkish-airlines/shareholding-structure, Shareholding Structure, Turkish Airlines, 27 January 2024,web.archive.org/web/20230713200651/https://investor.turkishairlines.com/en/turkish-airlines/shareholding-structure, 13 July 2023, On 1 April 2008, Turkish Airlines joined the Star Alliance after an 18-month integration process beginning in December 2006, becoming the seventh European airline in the 20-member alliance.PRESS RELEASE, Turkish Airlines to join Star Alliance, Star Alliance board approves membership application, Star Alliance, 9 December 2006,www.staralliance.es/de/press/starallianceturkishairlines-prp/,www.staralliance.es/de/press/starallianceturkishairlines-prp/," title="archive.today/20130213091212www.staralliance.es/de/press/starallianceturkishairlines-prp/,">archive.today/20130213091212www.staralliance.es/de/press/starallianceturkishairlines-prp/, dead, 13 February 2013, 4 May 2012, In December 2011, the Turkish government unveiled plans to modernize the Aden Adde International Airport in Mogadishu, Somalia, which became one of the newest flight destinations of the carrier in 2012.
