Civil Aviation Activities and Organizational Structure Proposal for the Turkish Civil Aviation Authority
After the regulations made in 1983 in Turkey, private companies were also given the right to operate air transport and airport operations. In this way, the number of companies increased from 2 to 5 and the number of aircraft from 31 to 302 in the civil aviation activities of our country, which has entered into a rapid development. The "Civil Aviation Department" was established within the Ministry of Transport in 1954 in order to direct and supervise the civil aviation activities of our country within the framework of international rules and practices and to protect the rights and interests of our country in international relations. When it comes to 1981, it is seen that this Department tried to maintain its increasing duties without any change, except that its name was "General Directorate of Civil Aviation". Today, it is known that with its current structure and staff, our country faces greater difficulties in the direction and control of civil aviation activities in achieving the desired and expected goal. Follow-up of international practices and relationships can be carried out in a limited way. This determination is also clearly included in all public works related to civil aviation, and the need for a new structuring is mentioned. However, unfortunately, a practical work has not been initiated. The aim of this study is to develop a new structuring style for the "Civil Aviation General Directorate", which is the civil aviation authority of our country, that will provide effective guidance and control in developing civil aviation activities. In the study, the civil aviation activities were explained, the civil aviation sector was introduced, the organizational problems and the need for restructuring in the civil aviation authority were revealed, and the structures of the civil aviation authorities in 88 of the member countries of the International Civil Aviation Organization were examined and in line with the legal practices and current conditions of our country, a feasible building model has been tried to getting developed.

Evaluation of the Life Satisfaction of Aviation Employees in Terms of Demographic Variables
The aviation sector develops and changes day by day with the effect of technology and globalization. This development and change brings along many positive and negative events that can affect the life satisfaction of employees. It is thought that some negative situations such as increasing workload, complex work processes that new technologies may bring, flight density, fatigue, stress, burnout, etc. may affect the life satisfaction of the employees. Life satisfaction is defined as both the positive or negative situations that an individual encounters in his / her work life and the positive or negative situations that he / she encounters in his / her social life outside of work. Life satisfaction, which is also defined as the situation obtained as a result of comparing the expectations of the individual and what he / she currently possesses, is the sum of the positive or negative events experienced by the individuals throughout their work and social life. The aim of the study is to examine the life satisfaction of aviation workers in terms of their demographic characteristics. Research data were collected through a questionnaire method from 263 employees of an enterprise operating in the aviation field. In the first part of the questionnaire form used in the research, there are demographic questions in the first part and questions about the life satisfaction of the employees in the second part. The reliability value of the life satisfaction scale used in the study was determined as 86.3%. How the life satisfaction of aviation workers differs in terms of their demographic characteristics was analysed using variance and t-test analyses. According to the research findings; While the life satisfaction of aviation workers showed significant differences in terms of education, age and total service time, no difference was observed in terms of marital status and hobbies.

The Effect of Job and Employee Qualifications on Employee Motivation and Job Satisfaction in Aviation Industry
In this study, it is aimed to measure motivation, which is one of the four basic elements of management and thus job satisfaction, in order to increase personnel productivity in the aviation sector, and to suggest corrective actions or development activities at points open to improvement as a result of these measurements. It is thought that evaluating the aviation sector company with the results to be obtained in the motivation and job satisfaction research to be conducted in an aviation sector company and shaping the management approach according to this result will not always give correct results. Situational management practices should be implemented in each department and different qualification groups working in each department. is that. In addition, the job satisfaction of the staff with a university or higher education was found to be lower than that of high school graduates. As a result of the findings obtained in the study, working conditions should be reviewed in order to increase the non-work motivation of employees with all job qualifications and job satisfaction of overly qualified personnel, management techniques should be applied to increase the status of employees, company policy should be shared with all employees and participation in management should be ensured, overly qualified personnel should be avoided while employees are placed in jobs. Employees should be placed in jobs appropriate to their qualifications, and manager-employee relationship and communication should be increased.

The Impact of Covid-19 on the Aviation Industry
The COVID-19 epidemic, which started in Wuhan, China at the end of 2019, affected the whole world. With the spread of the epidemic, economic activities related to global trade decreased and air transport operations declined. In line with the recommendations of the World Health Organization, countries have first restricted air transportation and then stopped most of their flight activities by closing their borders in order to protect against the contagious effect of COVID-19. These developments caused a decrease in aviation sector revenues and increased the financial losses of other sectors related to the aviation sector. In this study, the measures taken within the scope of COVID-19 in the aviation sector were mentioned and the economic impact of the epidemic on the sector was examined.

Turkish Airlines' Position in the Aviation Sector
With the Civil Aviation Law enacted in 1983, an important step towards liberalization was taken in the Turkish civil aviation sector. In the period that started with this law, significant increases were observed in the number of private sector airline companies, their fleet capacities and the share of the companies in the sector. In the face of increasing competition conditions during this period, Turkish Airlines (THY) also started to develop its fleet and made an effort to raise its service standards. In this study, by examining the development of the Turkish Civil Aviation sector and THY in the last thirty years, Market Forces (Porter) Analysis and Strengths, Weaknesses, Threats and Opportunities (SWOT) Analysis are used to reveal the current situation, problems and opportunities. Privatization of THY will make it possible to make institutional decisions according to commercial conditions and to manage the institution more effectively without state pressure. On the other hand, by increasing its synergy with THY subsidiaries and Star Alliance, it can increase operational revenues and reduce financial risks. This may provide an advantage in reducing THY's competitors' tendency to enter the market.

Donation Aircraft and Its Effects On The Establishment Of The Aviation Industry In The History Of Turkish Aviation
Donation is one of the important aspects of Turkish culture. Turks maintain their existence more easily due to their testimony and cultural aspirations. Over time, the government itself needed donations. The last period of the Ottoman Empire was also a rapid period of technological development. The ground-breaking development of aviation technology is one of the results of this period. Although the Ottoman Empire was interested in aviation, its budget was not suitable for such studies. But not following advances in aviation technology meant waiting for a greater danger. In such a difficult period, the Turkish people supported aviation and helped their army buy aircraft. Donations made in the War of Independence and the Republic of Turkey has played a more important role in the early stages of the construction of the Turkish Aviation and supported. In this difficult period of the country, 350 aircraft were donated to the Turkish Air Force. These donations continued when establishing the National Aviation War Industry after 1970.

Concentration in Civil Aviation Sector in Turkey
Competition, one of the determinants of wealth and efficiency in economic theory, is directly related to market concentration. In this study, the degree of concentration and level of competition of the Turkish Civil Aviation Industry for the 2011-2013 period is investigated. As a method, N-Firm concentration ratio and Herfindahl-Hirschman indices are used. As a result of the research, it was determined that the concentration rate in the Turkish civil aviation industry is quite high and the level of competition is close to the oligopoly markets. In the calculation made by excluding THY company, a low degree of concentration was observed. Therefore, it has been concluded that the high degree of concentration is mostly due to the size of THY's market share.

Communication Formats in Aviation Environments
It is known that human errors, which cause most of the accidents and incidents in aviation, are caused by ineffective communication and other communication-related indicators. In this study, firstly, how the communication process takes place in aviation environments is mentioned. Then, verbal communication messages, non-verbal communication messages, written communication messages, verbal-visual communication messages, communication messages using technology were analysed with examples as types of messages used in aviation environments. Communication is considered to be particularly critical in aviation security. Because the activities of members of a team such as gathering and sharing information, planning, leadership, decision making, and problem solving are typically done through communication. Therefore, in aviation security, the necessity of training on communication about air operations was emphasized.

Human Factor in Aviation Accidents
Human skills, reflexes, abilities, knowledge and education level, intelligence judgment, excitement, sensitivity, attention, stress, personality structure and health are just some of the factors that affect flight safety the most. Although the human factor is not fully defined, its definition can be approached a little when these effects are reviewed. When the accidents that have occurred are examined, it is noteworthy that the human factor is around 70-80% and it is an element that needs to be addressed and controlled. From this point of view, we can say that the biggest factor that minimizes the risk of any accident is the pilot, air traffic controller, radar operator, maintenance personnel who make the relevant flight.

An Evaluation on Aviation Accident and Pilot Error Concept
The aviation industry is developing every day. Technological innovations play an important role in the development of the aviation industry. Policies regarding air transport activities also trigger the rapid growth of the industry. Safety in the aviation industry is an indispensable part of transport activities. The main purpose of employees involved in the execution of flight operations is to ensure safety. In this context, the value of security in all units of the aviation sector is quite high. The aviation industry has gained a strong momentum over the past two decades, showing a tendency to cluster on the passenger-aircraft-cargo base, and accelerated the development of other aviation-related industries. In this process, aircraft accidents have been observed with factors such as the regulations of aviation authorities and the development of aircraft technologies. However, it is possible to say that the rate of decrease in aviation accidents is lower than the growth rate in the aviation sector. In line with the data obtained from aviation accident reports, the causes of the accidents are examined and discussed in various dimensions. One of the reasons that attracts the attention of the public is pilot error. In this study, the concepts of aviation accident, pilot error, and causes of the accident were examined and the results of the studies were compiled with an explanatory perspective. As a result of the several research, it has been determined that the causes of the accidents can be adopted in different dimensions at the same time and the demographic variables related to the pilot error do not have universal characteristics.

Quality System in Aviation Industry
With this study, how the concept of quality is applied in the aviation industry and how it is standardized with written rules in the sector has been revealed. The rules in force in the sector have been examined. In the study, a conceptual study was conducted by clarifying the issues such as quality management, quality manual, quality control, and AS9100 quality standard. It is explained how the quality issue is standardized by international authorized organizations such as ISO, ICAO, EASA in the sector and by national authorized organizations such as SHGM. In the light of these explanations, it was revealed that aircraft parts should comply with the standards, as well as the quality of maintenance and repair and a quality management system in the management process of aviation enterprises. In addition, as a result of this study, it has been determined that the concept of "quality" in the aviation sector, whose rules are written in blood, is identified with the concepts of "safety" and "airworthiness". There are almost no studies in the literature on quality management in aviation. For this reason, the original study can be a guide for future research. It is thought that the study will contribute to the literature on quality in the field of aviation management.

Investigation of Aircraft Accidents Due to Air Traffic Control
Abstract Airway transportation is one of the most preferred modes of transportation today. The important reason for this is; air transportation is extremely fast compared to other types of transportation. Naturally, the safety factor becomes even more important in aviation as there are very high speeds. It can be said that aviation is a safe transportation system in general. However, this does not mean that there is no risk of accident. Various studies are carried out by both national and international organizations in order to reduce the risk of accidents. In almost all of these studies, the human factor stands out as an important factor affecting the safety level of airline transportation. Pilots, air traffic controllers, aircraft maintenance personnel, flight operations specialists, cabin attendants, aircraft production workers, etc. It constitutes human factors in aviation. Therefore, the human factor has an effect on the accident risk level in all areas of the aviation system. However, in this study, only the air traffic control area will be focused on and aircraft accidents caused by air traffic controllers have been examined in detail. At the end of the article, solutions will be presented to prevent possible accidents.

Application of Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) to Fatal Aircraft Crashes Occurring in Turkish Airspace
The most important factor in preventing plane crashes is to learn lessons from previous accidents. Analysing aircraft crashes and crashes and finding out what caused the accident is the first step to prevent the next accident. In the analysis of an accident, if the cause is environmental or technical reasons, it will be easy to classify the cause of this accident. For example, engine failure, reduced visibility due to heavy fog or turbulence can be categorized very easily. However, if the accident is caused by a human-induced factor, it will be relatively difficult to classify it. Shappell and Wiegmann developed the human factors analysis and classification system (HFACS) by first examining the accidents that occurred in the American naval forces to classify the accidents caused by human factors. The human factors analysis and classification system is based on Reason's Swiss cheese model. The human factors analysis and classification system emphasizes that the cause of an accident is not only the fault of the cabin crew, but there are many factors behind the accident, all the way to the managers. This model has not lost its validity today and is a model that is frequently used in the literature. In this study, these models will be explained in detail and then the human factors analysis and classification system will be applied to the deadliest accidents in Turkish airspace. The data obtained as a result of the analysis will be interpreted and solutions will be offered to prevent accidents in accordance with the analysis.

A Study of the Changes in the Causes of Aviation Accidents from Past to Present
Airway transportation is one of the most preferred types of transportation today. Undoubtedly, the most important factors in this are fast and reliable. Air transport is one of the most reliable modes of transport. However, this does not mean that there is no risk of accident. With the developing technology, studies and researches are carried out by many organizations to minimize the risk of accidents. These studies are carried out under certain headings in order to minimize the risk of accidents. These are the main factors known as accident causes in aviation. We can list these factors as follows; Human factors, Technical reasons, Other factors (Weather, etc.). These factors have been the cause of all accidents since the beginning of aviation history. These factors in aviation accidents have changed over time. For example, in the early years of aviation, the majority of accidents were due to technical reasons, both due to hardware deficiencies and the underdeveloped technology. However, with the development of technology as we approach today, many high-tech equipment are used in aircraft as well as many backup systems, which has reduced the accidents caused by technical reasons. Despite the decrease in technical problems, the rapidly increasing manpower in the aviation industry is now paving the way for aircraft accidents due to human errors. A small mistake made by people such as pilots, controllers, technicians who are at critical stages before flight and before flight can lead to great disasters. In this article, the historical change of these factors that caused the occurrence of aircraft accidents will be examined and examples of accidents will be given.

Effects of Wide Body Aircraft Characteristics on Airport Design and Operation
The rapid growth in air transport around the world causes an increase in air traffic density and delays in airports. In order to solve the problem, airline companies have started to prefer cost-effective aircrafts with 500-600 passenger capacity, such as the A380, especially in long-haul flights. However, only some of the airports around the world have the infrastructure to serve such aircraft. Airbus A380 aircraft which produces the only newly constructed third airport in Istanbul, Trabzon, and Ankara Esenboğa airports has confirmed the suitability for the A380. The aim of this study is to reveal to what extent wide-body aircraft characteristics affect airport design and airspace management. In this context, Turkey has the 5th airport passenger traffic over the Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport handled as a case study, was investigated to what extent that is appropriate to the A380 airport operations. In the analysis, the standards developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO and the International Air Transport Association IATA were used.

The Importance of Forecasting Demand in the Aviation Sector: A Forecasting Model on Passenger Demand
Thanks to global developments and investments, airline transportation, which appeals mostly to high-income people in the 1990s, has also appealed to middle and low-income people after the 2000s, with the strong entry of low-cost carriers into the market and began to attract more demand. . Air transport is preferred more than land, rail and sea transport due to its advantages such as speed, safety and comfort. Parallel to the development in the sector, there is an increasing momentum in the studies examining the air transportation issue in the academic field. The success of airline companies' commercial planning such as fleet and network, which are of high importance, is related to the consistency of demand forecast. In this study, 114 articles presented on air passenger transport estimation between 1950 and 2015 were examined on technical, year and country basis. As a result of the analysis, it has been observed that artificial intelligence techniques have come to the fore instead of econometric models in recent years. In the study, considering the critical importance of passenger demand forecasting in the aviation industry, a comparison of artificial intelligence techniques and the regression technique, which is an econometric model, has been made. In this study, in which adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), artificial neural networks and regression analysis were used, it was found that "artificial neural networks" technique gave the most successful and reliable results in passenger demand forecasting in the aviation industry. Another aim of the study is to find the factors affecting airline passenger demand. For this reason, the factors in the literature were compiled, then subjected to correlation analysis and the related ones were determined.

Outsourcing Aircraft Maintenance Activities in Airline Operations: Identifying Possible Safety Hazards
In this study, as a result of airline companies outsourcing aircraft maintenance activities (DKK); It is aimed to identify potential hazards specific to the process. Thus, recommendations have been made to contribute to improving aviation safety. In the study, qualitative research design was preferred to achieve these goals. In this context, LinkedIn social media environment, which is mostly preferred by business professionals, was used to create purposeful sampling and collect data. A sub-discussion group was formed in the "Aviation Quality & Safety Information Exchange" group, in which the experts on the subject on LinkedIn were members, and thus the qualitative data collected from the purposeful sample were analysed by an inductive method. It has been determined that, since the DKK application takes the maintenance activities out of the hierarchy of the airline organization, the effectiveness of the hierarchical control decreases and the follow-up of the DKK applications, which have become increasingly complex, by the aviation authorities. Seeing the DKK as a means of reducing costs has also proved to be another potential hazard.

Air Warfare Industry Factories Established by the Turkish Aeronautical Association
Starting from the years of the War of Independence, studies have been carried out to establish a war industry in Anatolia. For this purpose, many facilities and businesses have started to be built in Kırıkkale. In Konya, a centre has been established where the repair and operation of the systems belonging to the air element is provided. Increased emphasis on the war industry with the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, the land within a short time, has begun sea and the establishment of several facilities belonging to the air force. The Turkish Aircraft Society was established on February 16, 1925. In the same year, on 15 August 1925, an agreement was signed with the German Junkers Company to produce aircraft in Kayseri. The Turkish Aircraft Society had a very important goal of establishing the Aircraft Industry in its first establishment purpose. This article was later removed from the establishment purposes of the Institution. In this process, the institution has mainly engaged in the supply of aircraft to the Air Force by coordinating donation with sportive aviation. In the years of the Second World War comes along that needs to be produced inside the aircraft by Turkey's obligation is planned to establish Aircraft and Aircraft Engine Factory by Air Authority. The Etimesgut Aircraft Factory was transformed from a 5,840 square meter workshop in 1942 to a 13,790 square meter factory in a short time. Tens of planes and many gliders were produced here, prototype aircraft were prepared. However, II. Foreign aid received after World War II caused this factory to close. The small and personal trials not considered in the Republic of Turkey for the first Aircraft Engine Factory, began to be established by the Turkish Aeronautical Association in 1945 and began working at Gazi Forest Farm in 1948. Before the Engine Factory was established, Turkish Aeronautical Association President Şükrü Koçak and his team had contacts in the United States and the UK, and made examinations about the qualities and conditions of the engines. The factory is planned to be established in an area of 120.000 m² next to the Ankara Poultry Institute, which is the land of the General Directorate of State Agricultural Enterprises. A very far-sighted planning has been made in terms of meeting the modern and future needs of the selected land and the project under consideration. The factory was established and the engine was produced. In addition, production has also been made outside the air industry. The Engine Factory also shared the same fate with the Aircraft Factory, first handed over to the Mechanical and Chemical Industry Corporation (MKEK) and then turned into a Tractor Factory.

Strategic Partnerships in Aviation Industry: An Efficiency Analysis Study with DEA and Trust Zone Approach
Purpose: Strategic alliance is defined as two or more companies that produce products or services together, acting in line with common interests for the sale of products or services. Today, companies operating in the aviation industry seem to have established such strategic partnerships in order to adapt to changing global conditions more quickly. In this study, it was aimed to make a comparative efficiency analysis for strategic alliances established in the aviation sector. Method: In addition to the Basic Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the Assurance Zone approach was also applied to 59 airline companies and the findings were made from a different perspective in light of this approach. Results: Compared to the basic DEA, quite different results were found under the Assurance Zone Method, which takes into account the weights of each of the input and output variables. Results: The mean effectiveness score was 62% in the basic DEA and 44% in the DEA / AR approach. These results show that the productivity score decreased by approximately 30% under DEA / AR approach. Within the scope of basic DEA, 11 airline companies were found efficient, only 3 of them were found efficient within the scope of DEA / AR approach. In addition, we can say that DEA / AR approach is a more sensitive technique than basic DEA.

Turkish Aviation History and Eskişehir from Past to Present
In the field of Anatolia's most popular and one of the modern city of Eskisehir, Turkey has a very important place in aviation. With the efforts of some forward-thinking Turkish statesmen at the time when the powerful states in the world started to build their air forces, the first steps were taken to establish the Turkish Air Force just eight years after the flight of the first plane. With the War of Independence, Eskişehir became the most important base of the Western Front. After the proclamation of the Republic, Eskişehir continued to be important for both military and civil aviation. The 1st Air Force Headquarters of the Turkish Air Forces, which we can divide into two as the west and the east, which we can also call the Western Force Command, is located in Eskişehir. In addition, the 1st Main Jet Base, the 1st Air Supply Centre and the Unified Air Operations Centre, which was used as the Air Headquarters within NATO, are also important centres of the Air Force operating in Eskişehir. Today, Eskişehir has become a brand in civil aviation. The İnönü training centre, which is owned by the Turkish Aeronautical Association, trains hundreds of new aviators every year. At the same time, Aviation High School continues its education at the academic level, as a resource for the aviation sector at Anadolu University. There are also large aviation companies that have signed international projects in the civil aviation industry such as TEI and Alp Aviation. The study of "Turkish Aviation History from Yesterday to Today and Eskişehir" consists of three main chapters: In the first part of the thesis, Turkish Aviation History is examined in general, in the second part, historical developments in aviation in Eskişehir are mentioned, and companies and organizations related to aviation in Eskişehir are introduced and information was given and assumptions were made about what will Eskişehir's place in aviation in the future. The study was ended with a conclusion letter.

Free Flight: Dynamic Flow Control
Due to the rapid increase in demand for air transport, the slow development of the air traffic management system has caused the air traffic control system to be blocked. Developments in the aviation industry have directed the flight operations of modern transport aircraft towards automation. Therefore, air traffic management technology requires intensive research and development activities to keep up with aircraft technology. Thus, automation technologies have been developed for the flight planning and control functions of the air traffic management system. Besides technology development efforts, new navigation methods based on existing advanced equipment have also been developed. One of these procedures is free flight. The concept of free flight is primarily used in the U.S. It has emerged in Europe, then it has been started to be worked on by Eurocontrol in Europe. This article has been introduced to the basic concepts and principles of the free flights Turkey is an example of the application of the airspace.

Flutter Analysis of an Airplane Wing Under Subsonic Flight Conditions Using Differential Transformation Method
In this study, the aeroelastic characteristics of an aircraft wing in subsonic flight conditions with differential transformation method were analysed by numerical analysis. The airplane wing is modelled as the widely preferred Euler-Bernoulli beam to simplify the wing structural model. The aerodynamic forces acting on the wing are expressed in Theodorsen's aerodynamic theory. After giving the energy expressions of the built-in Euler-Bernoulli beam that makes bending and torsion movements, the equations of motion that define the dynamic behaviour are derived with Hamilton's principle. Differential Transformation Method (DDY), which is an effective solution method, is introduced and necessary rules are given to transform the equations of motion and boundary conditions into new expressions. The equations of motion and neural conditions of the Euler-Bernoulli beam are restated with HNV. Boundary conditions with transformed equations of motion are solved with the developed code. In order to verify the accuracy and reliability of the code developed, the Goland wing and the Hale-Altitude Long-Endurance (HALE) wing, which have natural frequency and flutter values in the literature, were selected. By solving the transformed equations with the help of the developed code, natural frequency values were obtained for the Goland and HALE wings in various modes. The natural frequencies values found by HNV are compared with the natural frequency values obtained from the free vibration analysis of the same wing models in the literature for each mode. Then, flapping analysis of the wing modelled as Euler-Bernoulli beam was performed for Goland and HALE wings. For the aeroelastic analysis of the system, the k-method, one of the classical aeroelastic solution methods and widely used in the literature, was used. The found flapping speed and frequency values were compared with the literature values of Goland and HALE wings. When the study was compared with the data in the literature, it was seen that very close results with very low margins of error were obtained.

Electrical Conductivity on Composite Aircraft Surface
During a normal flight, aircraft are exposed to electric current for various reasons such as lightning strikes, static electricity caused by friction between the aircraft and the air, or magnetic field caused by the electronic equipment of the aircraft. This current can damage the aircraft and even cause accidents. Therefore, ensuring electrical conductivity in aircraft structures is an important issue. When aluminium is used as aircraft material, this problem does not occur because aluminium is a good conductor. However, in recent years, the use of composite materials with low conductivity has increased because they are lighter than metals, but more durable. The use of these materials forces designers to find solutions to ensure conductivity in aircraft structures. These solutions are mentioned in this article.

A Study on Turkish Aviation Companies in Terms of Aircraft Ownership
The aviation industry is a sector that requires large investments, yet its profitability does not reach 10 percent on a global scale and can be easily affected by all kinds of economic / political instability. While businesses compete under these conditions, they also have to keep up with the ever-evolving technology and grow by making new investments. Personnel expenses, aircraft and fuel costs constitute the most important cost items of airline companies. It is not rational for businesses to allocate a significant portion of their financial opportunities to aircraft ownership. Airline companies incorporate aircraft, which are the main and most costly element of their operations, into their operations through leasing alternatives in different forms. Leasing is a contract that covers the purchase of the goods, vehicles and machines that are desired to be purchased by the leasing company and leasing them to the business in need, and it is a financing method generally applied for fixed assets with high costs. Financial and operational leasing are the two prominent types of leasing, and financial leasing is a relatively more preferred method for airline companies. Majority of airline companies' fleets consist of aircraft acquired through different leasing methods. In this study, operating in Turkey, Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, Atlas Global and examined the structure of the fleet as Corendon airlines and their treatment have been made for financial analysis. Data analysis was used as a research method. At the end of the study, it was seen that the leasing methods used by companies in plane purchases differ according to their financial status and size. It has been concluded that large companies prefer the long-term financial leasing method, while small enterprises prefer the operational leasing method. It has been observed that these methods are more advantageous in terms of cost compared to other substitution methods.
