I see you have not connected this call to the 'Cyprus Problem' but wished instead to diversiy to worldwide holiday markets. No problem. I think Get Real! might be onto it.
and anyone who has ever been to TRNC will see that the majority of the visitors are from Turkey, UK, and RoC funnily enough...
Why "RoC funnily enough"? Do you not expect the 180,000+ refugees and their families to wish to see their homelands?
Get Real! is correct to demand such, but we are not all as able. Besides, no, I did not know you are a business analyst for any travel firm. How fortunate to stumble on one.
What is MNE?
However, your source is rather vague. It says:
"Comparison figures for the same period last year were not given, but the airline said that its results were higher than expectations."Surely it cannot be a full and unambiguous analysis in that case?
Turkish Airlines actually recorded a 3 quarter net profit of $169m USD, with a 39% increase on sales revenue, on just 22.7% increase in passenger numbers...This to me shows that THY have managed to add value to their services,
Did they not too long ago shed 51% of their company and are in fact a very small fleet? But you must know that, right?
Do they take into account over 20% of flights are internal?
Still, others I have encountered report:
"Turkish Airlines surprised investors by revealing a third-quarter loss on Thursday of USD22.7 million, related to fleet revaluations. "http://www.centreforaviation.com/news/s ... loss/page1
"ISTANBUL, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Turkish Airlines (THYAO.IS) posted a surprise third-quarter loss on Thursday, with analysts saying fleet revaluation and rising jet fuel costs might be to blame after sales met forecasts and passenger numbers rose."http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKLDE6AA20G20101111 and a figure which will undoubtedly rise thanks to the new corporate advertising and sponsorship programs linked to Manchester United Football Club,
Oh there is something about Manchester U. F. Club on this bulletin about the TA losses:

In 2010 they won best southern europe airline and best onboard catering globally...not quite the gloomy picture you have all painted....RESEARCH & CREDIBLE EVIDENCE...lol sorry i couldnt help it...a joke for Get Real which I am sure he will visit this page
Thankyou for your forecast. I am sure as a travel agent business analyst you have been busy.
Would you move your sights away from Turkey as a beautiful and cheap country to visit for Greek and Roman remains and analyse why under these affluent Turkish conditions the GoT wish to entice more Turkish Cypriots Compatriots and recently 'emigrated' Anatolians to Turkey for their vacations?
