Moody's and S&P, two of the most respectful international credit rating agencies, assigned Turkish Airlines' first time public corporate rating to be Ba1 and BB+, respectively.
Moody's, in its press release, mentioned that Turkish Airlines' healthy financial profile is underpinned by its low-cost structure and historical above-peer-average profitability metrics and that Turkish Airlines has a well-diversified passenger revenue base that is supported by the economic and tourism growth seen in Turkey, while Istanbul's geographic location allows the Ataturk International Airport to act as a hub for international transfer traffic. Moody's believes that the airline is also an important contributor to the Turkish economy and plays a major role in promoting economic growth and tourism. The stable outlook of Turkish Airlines reflects Moody's expectation that the Incorporation will see steady industry demand with favourable passenger growth and healthy load factors during its fleet expansion phase. The outlook also assumes that Turkish Airlines will continue to have an efficient cost base and above-peer-average profitability metrics through the economic cycle.
According to S&P's press release, the business risk profile of Turkish Airlines reflects its market position at Istanbul Ataturk Airport, Istanbul's beneficial geographic position as a transfer hub and the company's strong track record of growth over the past three years. S&P's statement also underlined Turkish Airlines important role in the Turkish economy.
With these ratings, Turkish Airlines achieved the second highest rating among the global network carriers in the industry that have been rated by both Moody's and S&P.

`We have delivered a strong trading performance in the year to date, which reflects a combination of good market conditions for tourism, and the positive development of Turkey’s economy and geopolitical situation. However, our results have been supported by our domestic price policy which increased turnover not only for Turkish Airlines but also for the Turkish aviation market as a whole. Looking forward, we also expect to begin to enjoy returns from our ongoing investment programme in our fleet, which will be one of Europe’s youngest by 2008.
Revenues
The first nine months of 2005 saw a significant rise in revenues to $1,764 mn (2004:$1,358 mn) brought about by: increased seat capacity, up to 13,823 (+16%) and increased load factor, up to 74% (+3 pt). Revenues have been growing at 13% (CAGR) since 2001, positioning Turkish Airlines as one of the world’s fastest growing airlines.
Costs
The 50% increase in aviation fuel prices over 2005 contributed significantly to a 69% increase in fuel expenses to $393 mn, one of Turkish Airline’s largest operating costs. Total operating costs increased by 33% to $1,675 mn. Despite our non-hedging based approach, Turkish Airlines secured lower fuel costs than most other AEA airlines with costs of $1.45 (fuel cost/AASK). In addition, Turkish Airlines maintains amongst the lowest operating ($6.65: Costs/ASK) and personnel costs ($1.67: Personnel Cost/ ASK) of any AEA airline.
Profits
For the first 9 months of 2005, profits before tax rose to $154 mn from $129 mn, and net income increased to $106 mn from $81 mn over the same period in 2004.
Trading
2005 saw a strong increase in passenger numbers to 11m against 8.8m a year ago, accommodated by increased seat capacity of 13,832 (+16%) and increased load factor, up to 73,6% (+2.5%).
Outlook
The number of domestic and international passengers flying to and from Turkey is expected to rise substantially over the coming years. This will be supported by increased tourism, growing domestic demand, and potential EU accession trends. From 2003 to 2004, international passenger numbers were up 21% and domestic numbers up 58%. Turkish Airlines is well positioned to capitalise on this growth, 59 new planes on order taking the fleet number to 100. Turkish Airlines plans to increase its overall seat capacity to above 18,000 by 2008. Furthermore, Turkish Airlines is planning to increase its destinations with 24 more international routes in 2006.
