Known as the “Airline of Firsts” for the innovations it has brought to the aviation industry, Corendon Airlines is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025 and has crowned its success within the Turquality® Support Programme, carried out by the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Türkiye, with new awards. At the Turquality® Vision Gathering and Branding Conference, organised to mark the 20th anniversary of Turquality®, Türkiye’s first and only state-supported branding programme, Corendon Airlines was deemed worthy of championship awards in two separate categories.
By receiving the awards for “Turquality® Champion with the Highest Service Exports” and “Turquality® Champion with the Highest Service Exports to Distant Countries”, Corendon Airlines once again demonstrated Türkiye’s strong position in service exports. The awards were presented on 5 December 2025 during the Turquality® Vision Gathering and Branding Conference held at the Turkish Exporters Assembly Şehit Ömer Halisdemir Conference Hall.
Since its establishment, Corendon Airlines has built its sustainable growth on fleet expansion, route diversity and operational excellence, carrying millions of passengers each year from many European countries to various tourist destinations. Turquality®, the world’s first and only state-supported branding programme, differs from traditional export incentives by aiming not only to increase exports but also to contribute to the sustainable global growth, strategic planning and corporate infrastructure of brands. These two awards earned within the Turquality® ecosystem also align with the company’s vision to enhance its competitive strength in international markets.
Commenting on the awards received, Batuğhan Karaer, Financial Advisor to the Corendon Tourism Group, said: “Following our admission to the Turquality® programme, being deemed worthy of championship awards in two separate categories this year has been a great source of pride for us. Achieving sustainable success in the international market requires strong operational capabilities and a clear branding vision. As Corendon Airlines, we have long played a pioneering role in service exports while also carrying Türkiye’s values to every destination we fly to. With the support of Turquality®, we aim to further strengthen our competitive power in the global market, enrich the experience we offer our passengers and contribute even more to our country’s economy.”
