Airlines upbeat about boost in business
International airline operators operating in Ghana
are upbeat about buoyant sales thereby meeting
their targets by the end of the year.

According to them, indicators such as the
stability of the cedi have shot up their
patronage.

The airline operators had last year bemoaned the
poor performance of their business due to low
patronage.

General Manager of Turkish Airlines, Ferhat Yerli
said the airline has recorded massive boost this
year and will meet its target.

“We are very happy here in Ghana. We started our
operations in 2010 and we are happy with the
Ghanaian market.
The passengers are happy as well. We keep
recording a growth in percentage. First it was 60,
then 70 then 75%. We increase every year and our
passengers also keep increasing every year. By
this I am positive we will meet our target by the
end of the year” he said.

He spoke to Citi Business News after addressing
the media on the company’s sales festival 2017
as part of its festive celebrations.

The promotion which seeks to reduce fares for
customers will run from November till the end of
December 2017.

For instance a flight ticket to Washington which
was going for over USD1,200 cedis is now USD999.

The Turkish Airlines Sales festival is designed to
offer the Ghanaian public the opportunity of
booking flights to various destinations for a
scant price.

It is also to offer families the opportunity to
book their Christmas holiday and next summer
vacation tickets for a fraction of the price.
