Turkish Airlines agreed a five-year front-of-shirt sponsorship with Liverpool starting 2027-28 worth over $400 million, the largest such deal in English football.

Turk Hava Yollari recorded revenue growth of more than 20% to $7.2 billion in Q2 2026, while EBITDA fell about 40% to $906 million due to higher fuel costs, currency headwinds and impacts from the Middle East conflict. Net profit was around $200 million, supported by investment income, and liquidity stood at $9.6 billion. The cargo business grew strongly (revenue +58%). Management expects capacity to rise 3–5% in Q3 and passenger yields to increase 6–8%, but continues to see high cost pressure from fuel (35–40% more expensive) as the biggest uncertainty. » Więcej na de.investing.com
