In 2007, the Turkish government relinquished majority ownership of the carrier, which is now a publicly held company. The government still owns 49.4% of the airline, Mr. Baytan said. Turkish Airlines’ competitors are surely noticing its rapid rise. In July, United introduced nonstop flights from Newark Liberty International Airport to Istanbul. Delta is the only other U.S. carrier with nonstops to the ancient city. According to a Bloomberg TV interview in June with the company’s chief executive,Temel Kotil,Turkish Airlines has an “urgent” need for larger aircraft to keep up with the surging traffic through its Istanbul hub. The carrier may get more planes—a lot more—if its negotiations with an unnamed airline progress. “We have some plans that are not officially announced yet regarding negotiations for an acquisition,” Mr. Baytan said. —lisa fickenscher hances are the next time a New Yorker books a flight abroad, it could well be with Turkish Airlines. The Istanbul-based company is the fastest-growing carrier in the New York area that has not been acquired or merged with another airline. The number of passengers Turkish Airlines transported into and out of New York-area airports grew 45% in the 12-month period ended in May, compared with the same time a year ago. Although tourism to Turkey has increased steadily over the past few years, it is not driving the carrier’s dramatic growth, said Ihsan Baytan, general manager of Turkish Airlines in New York. The company is adding flights and new destinations at a dizzying clip—six in just the month of July, including Edinburgh, Scotland, and Ulan Bator, Mongolia. It flies to more than 200 destinations globally. In the U.S.,Turkish Airlines flies directly to New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., and is adding Houston next year. In May, it inked a deal with JetBlue to connect the carriers’ networks at John F. Kennedy International Airport and at Washington Dulles In- Top domestic destinations Total domestic origin and destination (in thousands) EWR 838 1,030 JFK 2,846 352 1,042 1,304 1,199 LGA 218 2,187 1,464 760 1,074 Total 3,902 3,569 3,444 3,388 2,987 Los Angeles Chicago 2012 total passengers 27,701,850 20,745,781 14,348,790 14,099,934 6,023,780 2,967,712 1,537,530 1,215,622 1,199,736 1,152,113 1,029,397 969,923 902,334 717,446 682,489 610,621 557,613 514,728 491,187 454,776 424,856 416,813 411,140 406,448 393,565 343,995 333,778 326,453 305,991 295,288 280,745 276,722 270,231 249,817 229,444 2012 % change from 2011 -0.3% -0.6% +1.5% +3.9% +0.3% +47.9% +11.2% +6.0% +10.5% +2.8% +10.2% -8.9% +1.4% +23.0% +2.0% +23.7% -2.4% +10.3% +1.4% +1.6% +31.9% +5.7% +6.2% +1.8% +10.6% -3.1% +45.4% +33.8% -14.8% +16.7% +3.2% +3.0% -13.6% -8.2% +100.8% 2012 domestic passengers 19,914,152 16,546,985 10,593,072 11,815,411 6,023,780 2,967,712 0 0 1,199,736 0 1,029,397 0 0 0 0 610,621 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2012 international passengers 7,787,698 4,198,796 3,755,718 2,284,523 0 0 1,537,530 1,215,622 0 1,152,113 0 969,923 902,334 717,446 682,489 0 557,613 514,728 491,187 454,776 424,856 416,813 411,140 406,448 393,565 343,995 333,778 326,453 305,991 295,288 280,745 276,722 270,231 249,817 229,444 2012 total flights 322,626 242,601 153,243 125,537 122,005 31,418 8,130 21,999 7,860 4,736 8,364 3,679 3,513 2,925 5,026 6,595 1,831 1,456 2,326 2,796 1,934 1,450 1,462 1,677 2,058 1,310 1,336 7,245 1,408 2,390 1,425 1,446 1,456 1,598 870 2012 % change from 2011 -0.9% +0.7% +1.1% +5.5% -1.8% +59.8% +6.4% +3.9% +0.3% +1.1% +11.9% -12.2% +0.6% +35.9% -4.0% +15.9% 0.0% -0.2% +1.4% +1.4% +27.8% +1.1% -0.1% -3.1% +9.4% -1.5% +46.2% +14.1% -24.9% +7.1% -2.0% -0.3% -15.9% -17.7% +102.3% 2012 domestic flights 258,832 214,873 118,884 105,932 122,005 31,418 0 0 7,860 0 8,364 0 0 0 0 6,595 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2012 international flights 63,794 27,728 34,359 19,605 0 0 8,130 21,999 0 4,736 0 3,679 3,513 2,925 5,026 0 1,831 1,456 2,326 2,796 1,934 1,450 1,462 1,677 2,058 1,310 1,336 7,245 1,408 2,390 1,425 1,446 1,456 1,598 870 938 1,324 714 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
