| In an exclusive interview with the Anatolia news agency, Kotil said that THY's flights to Washington, D.C., which began last November, were very important for them.
It is not only the Turks who arrive in Washington, D.C.. People from the Middle East, Central Asia and Russia come to Washington, D.C. by THY. We carry a high number of passengers from Washington, D.C. to Africa. We are pleased with the occupancy rates for flights from Washington, D.C., Kotil said.
The THY has grown by four fold. If the THY grows an additional four fold, it could become the world's biggest airlines. THY's success depends on making Istanbul a bridge for airlines, Kotil said.
