Turkish Airlines is the national airline of Turkey and the country's largest carrier. Turkish Airlines operates a network of domestic and regional services throughout Turkey and the Middle East and international services to Europe, Africa, North America, South America and Asia. The carrier operates passenger services via its main hub at Istanbul Airport as well as secondary hubs at Esenboga International Airport and Adnan Menderes International Airport. The carrier transferred its hub operations from Ataturk Airport to the new Istanbul Airport under a phased programme completed in mid-2019. Turkish Airlines is also a member of the Star Alliance.

In Jun-2022, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan advised of plans to rebrand Turkish Airlines as Türkiye Hava Yolları.
