Gentlemen, the floor is yours.
Murat Seker
Executive Chairman of the Board
Thank you, Rob. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. Before we begin our financial results, I would like to briefly address recent changes in our senior management. As publicly announced 3 weeks ago, I have been appointed as the Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee. Having served as Chief Financial Officer since 2016 and as a Board and Executive Committee member since 2021, I have been closely involved in shaping Turkish Airlines’ growth strategy and long-term road map.
Our new CEO, Mr. Ahmet Olmustur, is among the most experienced executives at Turkish Airlines and has been with the company for the last 26 years. Mr. Olmustur as our Chief Commercial Officer, played a key part in strengthening our network and revenue-generating capabilities. In addition, our new CFO, Mr. Gulsen, brings extensive experience in financial planning and reporting, having held several senior roles within Turkish Airlines since 2017, most recently as Senior Vice President of Accounting and Financial Control. We look forward to executing Turkish Airlines’ strategic targets and growth plans.
I would like to sincerely thank Professor Ahmet Bolat and Mr. Bilal Eksi for their leadership and dedication at Turkish Airlines
