The transaction marks a significant milestone in Turkish Airlines’ continued efforts to diversify its funding sources and reinforce its commitment to sustainable global growth. The facility was coordinated by Bank of China Turkey, with BOC Macau serving as the lending branch — a move that further deepens financial cooperation between Türkiye and China in line with their long-term strategic objectives.
Commenting on the development, Turkish Airlines’ Chief Financial Officer, Assoc. Prof. Murat Şeker, emphasized the importance of the collaboration, noting that the partnership strengthens the airline’s financial foundation and fosters broader economic and cultural ties between both nations.
“As Turkish Airlines continues to pursue sustainable growth and global expansion, we highly value the trust and partnership established with leading international institutions such as Bank of China,” Şeker stated. “This cooperation not only supports our financial resilience but also contributes to strengthening the bond between Türkiye and China.”
The financing underscores Turkish Airlines’ strategic vision of leveraging diversified and innovative funding models to meet its long-term sustainability goals. As the flag carrier advances toward its 2033 centennial targets, the airline remains focused on expanding its global network and maintaining its leadership in international aviation.
