National flag carrier Turkish Airlines on Monday has reached a milestone of flying its one billionth passenger.

The carrier rewarded the one billionth passenger, Mustafa Balci, who was flying from Istanbul to Türkiye’s southeastern province of Adiyaman, with 1 million bonus miles.

“Living this experience will be an unforgettable memory for me,” Balci said.

Bonus miles can be redeemed for flights, hotels, rental cars, and other parts of trip through Turkish Airlines.
