TURKISH TECHNIC Turkish Technic Inc.
Turkish Technic was established in 2006 as a 100%-owned subsidiary of Turkish Airlines, and merged with Turkish Airlines HABOM Inc. in June 2015. Turkish Technic is one of the world’s largest aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul centers in the air transport sector in terms of employees and affiliates. After its relocation to Istanbul Airport in 2019, Turkish Technic launched the first base maintenance hangars of the MRO complex in October 2020. The facility was designed to provide all maintenance, repair and overhaul services from a single point to many domestic and foreign airlines, especially Turkish Airlines. In June 2021, Turkish Technic opened its base maintenance hangars and became the first and only MRO to offer base maintenance services at Istanbul Airport. To increase the number of foreign airlines it serves and its market share, Turkish Technic operates in its hangars located at five different airports in Ankara, Aydın, and Istanbul (Atatürk, Istanbul, and Sabiha Gökçen Airports).
SunExpress conducts tourism transport activities as the market leader in flights between Türkiye and Central Europe. Established in 1989 as a 50-50% partnership between Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa, SunExpress is headquartered in Antalya. SunExpress executed its first flight in 1990. After operating for many years in the charter market, SunExpress initiated Antalya- Frankfurt flights in 2001, becoming Türkiye’s first private airline to organize scheduled flights abroad. In recent years, SunExpress has adopted a dual-hub model by expanding its operations to include both Antalya and Izmir as central hubs. As a result, SunExpress has become the airline that connects Antalya and Izmir to the most destinations, offering both domestic and international direct and scheduled flights.
