00:00It's a great honor and privilege to address you today at the second EU-Türkiye Business Summit here in Brussels.
00:10Representing Turkish Airlines, the flag carrier of Türkiye, I believe there is vast potential to be realized in Turkish-EU
00:19relations,
00:20even though the world is going through difficult times.
00:24We are going through critical times for global trade and economic stability.
00:31We see conflicts raging around the world, disruption in energy corridors, the major headwinds for the global economy.
00:42I believe together we might be able to produce solutions to at least some of these problems.
00:49It is our firm belief that sustainable resilience relies on strong and diversified connectivity.
00:59In today's economic environment, connectivity extends far beyond physical transportation.
01:07It joins trade corridors, digital networks, energy links, and key human interactions.
01:17Positioned at the natural crossroads of east and west, north and south,
01:24Türkiye forms a critical and safe bridge connecting Europe to Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
01:33At Turkish Airlines, we leverage this geographic location to serve as the world's most connected airline,
01:43providing passenger access to 133 countries and 358 destinations.
01:50With a fleet of 568 aircrafts, we are ranked first in Europe and third globally in international passenger capacity among
02:05network carriers.
02:06As the supply chain shocks over the past years and ongoing conflict in the Middle East indicate,
02:14trade routes and global supply chains need safe and stable environments to function.
02:23Based in Istanbul, Turkish Airlines is the perfect partner for Europe, Asian, Middle Eastern, and African passengers,
02:34as well as corporate customers seeking new growth markets.
02:38The next step is to the world's most connected to the world's most connected to the world's most connected to
