Turkish Airlines is more powerful than ever and is a member of the Star Alliance group. Of the total 171 routes they fly, 41 are domestic with the remaining 130 being to international destinations. Flying out of their primary base at Ataturk International Airport, their ports of call span the globe from Europe to Africa, Asia and North and South America. They have experienced a significant increase in passengers using the airline as well as revenues and profits over the past four years. The company made 2.2 billion USD in 2006, flying about 17 million passengers. The company made approximately 4 billion USD in 2009, with more than 25 million passengers using the airline, making it a terrific year for them.

With four weekly flights, the newest destination to receive Turkish Airlines' flights is Valencia in Spain. The following month will also see an additional route, namely Malaga, Spain to Istanbul. That schedule will operate three times per week. All of that will be added to the existing services for Barcelona and Madrid. This is planned to be quite a busy year for the Turkish airline and these additional routes are just the start of it. The rest of 2011 will see additional new routes in quite a few other countries. For example, a few months later there will be inaugural flights to France for Toulouse, Lyon, Paris and Nice. Therefore, the airline will have a total of 175 international routes in its schedule and the year has barely begun. Just late last year in October of 2010, English soccer team, Manchester United, and Turkish Airlines completed final negotiations for a contract extending for just over three years. Turkish Airlines and Manchester United will team up to create a high-tech TV ad that will show the new business class concept the airline has developed. There are many reasons that both sides find this a great project. The new advertisements will show the team's best players travelling and enjoying the airline's business class section.

Turkish Airlines has implemented a new form of traveling referred to as Comfort Class. This service is only offered by the airline on their new fleet of Boeing 777 airplanes. With seats that are just under 46 inches, this makes it a completely new approach to flying in style. So, you have four feet of seat for yourself or anything else you need to carry with you. Remember though, that the Boeing 777 is a large aircraft designed mainly for intercontinental flights. Miles earned in the Turkish Airlines Miles and Smiles card can be redeemed for a ticket in Comfort Class or an upgrade to this class. Turkish Airlines has an extensive history that has seen quite a few problems at the beginning. This is not an unusual situation for an airline, though, because there are many challenges that need to be resolved. This company has undergone many changes, from the bottom up. The result is a strong and adaptable company that has learned from past mistakes. Some of the exciting changes and events taking place at Turkish Airlines have been presented here.
