Once again, Turkish Airlines has been honored with the 'Most
Sustainable Flag Carrier Airline' award by World Finance, marking

Airline award for the third-year running is a testament to our
dedication to sustainability and environmental stewardship. Turkish
Airlines has set a strategic goal to become one of the world's top
three airlines in terms of digitalisation. In line with our
commitment to becoming a Carbon-Neutral Airline by 2050, we
incorporated the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) into our
climate change mitigation plans in 2022, and we further expanded
our use of SAF to new routes in 2023. We will continue to add new
routes to our SAF-powered network and pursue our commitment to
sustainable practices throughout our operations."
