The meals were provided until the end of Ramadan. The initiative was based on Turkish Airlines core values of demonstrating respect to all human beings, in addition to being leaders, not just in the aviation sector but even beyond. The airline, which flies to 228 international destinations, the most of any global carrier, is helping those in regions across its network in a bid to touch as many lives as possible. 

Adem Ceylan, vice-president, sales for Middle East and Cyprus, Turkish Airlines, said: “We are very proud of this initiative to feed over 300,000 people from over 34 of the markets we fly to. 

While Turkish Airlines is extremely proud of its Turkish roots and heritage, as a global carrier we believe it our responsibility to help people from all corners of the world. Ramadan is a special time for many people everywhere and we are doing our best to contribute to the peace and prosperity of all, especially those less privileged than us.”
