Cool TK actually made money in Q1 2021 (net profit - USD 61 mio)

"In this difficult time, Turkish Airlines managed to wrap up the first quarter of 2021 with $41 million real operating loss and $61 million net profit despite the effects of the crisis caused by COVID-19," the company said in a written statement.

Serving cold meals in paper boxes did not affected the bottom line in a negative way, after all But being serious - impressive results...

Well, how could it, really, when everyone else served nothing and flew nowhere. In that climate, of course it was a smart move to save as much on the soft product as possible, as there was very little competition.

I'm grateful to TK for connecting HEL to the world in a situation where AY, my home airline, has shaved down their operations so much that they've become almost useless, and there's no end in sight.

Most of the profit comes from the cargo operations, so it is actually possible.
