After Turkey asked the UN to stop calling the country “Turkey”, the Turkish airline “Turkish Airlines” should also have a different name in the future.
After Turkey’s renaming at the UN, the country also wants to push through a Turkish name for the national airline.
“From now on we will no longer write “Turkish Airlines” on our planes, but “Türkiye Hava Yolları”,” said President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Tuesday. The official name of the partially state-owned company in Turkey is actually Türk Hava Yolları.
Almost two weeks ago, Turkey asked the United Nations and other international organizations to refrain from using the English term “Turkey” and to call the country “Türkiye”. “There is no longer a ‘Turkey’, only ‘Türkiye’,” Erdoğan said.
The leadership in Ankara had been struggling for a long time, especially with the English translation of the country’s name – partly because the English “turkey” can also mean “turkey”. However, observers also see the procedure as an attempt to win votes in the nationalist camp.
