"Somalia is one of our most profitable destinations worldwide," Mustafa Ozkahraman, Kenya country manager for Turkish Airlines, told Reuters in an interview. But Turkish Airlines, which is 49 percent state-owned, is bullish on Africa, a continent of 1 billion people. "You have to have those destinations to make your hub busy and your profitable destinations more profitable," he said. The wide network means that, unlike Ethiopian Airlines, Turkish does not partner with smaller African carriers notorious for poor service.
