The simple statistics for PGS alone need no embellishment. Other national airlines have contributed to the accident record. Reviewing the high frequency of accidents involving Turkish passenger carriers, one must conclude that there is an inherent problem.

The recent crashes have involved serviceable aircraft.
Weather conditions in Turkey are no better and no worse than most parts of the aviation world.
Turkish ATC is competent, and the airfields generally well-equipped.

Is it pure bad luck, or is there an issue to be solved to lessen the attrition rate?
