Turkish Airlines is celebrating Eid al-Fitr by showing its appreciation for the over 100 nationalities it serves across the Middle East.
Customers will be greeted with an “Eid Mubarak” message painted in Arabic and English on the A321 aircraft, which flies to 34 markets in the Middle East and North Africa.
The initiative is based on the airline’s “core values of respect and warmth towards all those it serves”, according to a
statement.
Dr Temel Kotil, CEO of Turkish Airlines, said: “The Middle East is one of our fastest growing markets and we are truly grateful to all our customers from the region for supporting us over the years. I want to personally wish them a very safe and wonderful Eid from Turkish Airlines.”
Adem Ceylan, vice-president (marketing and sales for Middle East and Cyprus) at Turkish Airlines, added: “We are very proud to say we served more than 5mn people in the Middle East in the last 12 months. This year, we want to honour them as they are largely responsible for our growing success in the region. We wish them all Eid Mubarak.”
Turkish Airlines offers its Middle Eastern customers direct flights to Istanbul, Antalya, Izmir, Trabzon and Bursa in Turkey. Globally, it connects its passengers to 276 destinations in 110 countries.
In keeping with the spirit of Ramadan, Turkish Airlines has given over 300,000 Iftar meals to the underprivileged in 18 destinations across the Middle East and Asia. The airline also commemorated the holy month by launching an Arabic call centre to serve its customers across Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, Algeria,
Tunisia and Morocco.
