The flight Istanbul-Adyyaman flew a billionth passenger of Turkish Airlines (Türk Hava Yolları / Thy) Mustafa Baldzhi.
A billionth passenger in a megalopolis was personally conducted by the head of the board of the national air carrier Akhmet Bolat, passing the compatriot a coupon for 1 million miles of travel.
According to Bolat, the airline founded in 1933 sets itself a new ambitious task – in achieving a bar of 2 billion passengers. “We have reached the marks of one billion passengers in 90 years. We hope to double this figure after 8 years – in 2031,” he said.
