THY WILL OPEN OFFICE IN EMPIRE STATE BUILDING IN NEW YORK

U.S. weekly The New York Observer said, "Turkish Airlines has been ferrying into New York with increasing frequency, so it's no surprise the republic's flagship airline has decided to land in the city's most prominent tower."
"A few months after bumping up its New York to Istanbul flights by 30 percent, Turkish Airlines has taken 5,863 square feet on the 75th floor of the Empire State Building. The airline, which consistently wins plaudits for its friendly attendants sporting jaunty red caps and yummy local snacks (baklava, anyone?), will join other international sky gliders in the landmark tower, such as Air China and Lufthansa," it said.
The weekly said, "the company, which boasts a 155-plane fleet and 126 airports of call, will move to the building this month from its current location in Westbury, N.Y. 'International airlines are a great fit for the Empire State Building,' said W&H Properties' Fred Posniak. 'They market to a global audience, and this audience immediately identifies with the world's most famous office building."
Based in Istanbul, THY is one of the fastest growing airlines in the world. The airlines is a Star Alliance member, and it carries approximately 25 million passengers a year.
The company posted 389 million Euro of profit in 2009, becoming one of the top companies, following Air China and Ryan Air, in the world that recorded the highest profit in 2009.
