Thanks for sharing this very interesting article.

I think there are two other factors of success, other than the ones mentioned:
- a relatively young fleet keeps maintenance down
- a focus on one hub makes the hub-spoke model very efficient (though downgrading ESB is controversial in Turkey)

Just to add to the discussion.

Thanks for your replies!

As the article points out, there are many bumps ahead for TK.

This is a crazy statistic: "By 2009, 41 million passengers flew domestically in Turkeya five-fold increase in seven yearsaccording to the civil aviation authority."
