For the third consecutive year, Turkish Airlines, the crowning jewel of Türkiye’s aviation industry, has soared to global airline excellence by clinching the much-coveted World Class award from the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX). The grand accolade was presented amidst much anticipation and applause at the high-profile APEX/IFSA Global Expo in sunny California.
APEX, a titan in the aviation sector, reveres the best in global airline service, evaluating critical criteria such as passenger experience, safety protocols, sustainability, and well-being. The fact that Turkish Airlines finds itself in the rarified air of this award’s recipients, not once or twice, but thrice, speaks volumes about its commitment to transcending ordinary flight experiences.
While receiving the award, Ahmet Olmuştur, the dynamic Chief Marketing Officer of Turkish Airlines, radiated pride. “This isn’t merely an award; it’s a testament to the tenacity and vision of every individual in our team. From ergonomic seating to bespoke services, every nuance aims to redefine what passengers expect from their flights. The APEX World Class honor isn’t just a reflection of our present endeavors but also a beacon guiding our future endeavors,” shared Olmuştur with palpable enthusiasm.
Adding weight to the recognition, APEX’s esteemed CEO, Dr. Joe Leader, elaborated on Turkish Airlines’ magnificence. “Turkish Airlines isn’t just a flight; it’s an experience. Whether it’s the unmatched luxury of their suite business class on selected A350 aircraft or the mesmerizing gastronomic artistry of their on-board chefs, it’s an odyssey. Yet, what truly stands out is their genuine Turkish hospitality – a seamless blend of warmth and grandeur. It’s an ode to their relentless drive for perfection, placing them as one of the select few APEX World Class airlines.”
In a world where airlines often grapple to stand out, Turkish Airlines has consistently upped the ante. The recognition from APEX underlines Turkish Airlines’ unswerving dedication to constantly innovate, redefine what it means to fly and ensure that every journey resonates with the echoes of unmatched luxury and hospitality.
