Turkish Airlines Flight Academy (TAFA), a flight training organisation and subsidiary of Turkish Airlines, saw the intake of the 127th batch of trainees in May 2024. The milestone was celebrated with the attendance of TAFA’s Chairman of the Board of Director, Abdulkerim Cay.

The Academy also took delivery of two new Diamond DA42 multi-engine aircraft in May 2024.

 In 2023 TAFA took delivery of 10 brand new Cessna 172S training aircraft to grow its fleet of Cessna 172S to 24 aircraft. In addition in 2023 Turkish Airlines Flight Academy (TAFA) signed an agreement with Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) for 20 single-engine training aircraft.

“As we prepare to carry our brand further within the scope of our vision for the next 10 years, it makes us all proud to see the high level of domestic and national opportunities and capabilities,” said Ahmet Bolat, Chairman at Turkish Airlines. “Our pilots to be trained with our aircraft to be produced by TAI will bring us closer to the fleet target of 800 aircraft, which we aim to have in 2033.”
