60 New Planes For The Turkish Aviation Sector

Despite the continuing world recession the Turkish Airlines is growing.
The Turkish civil aviation will add 60 aircraft to their fleet in 2010. The Director General of Civil Aviation, Dr. Ali Arıduru, is giving orders every day for new aircraft and said "This year, over 60 large-bodied aircraft are waiting to enter the Turkish registry. At this rate, according to our predictions, our fleet will be 600 after 10 years. While other airlines all over the world are trying to merge to avoid bankruptcy, the 17 companies represented in the Turkish civil aviation sector are experiencing good times. Airlines, especially larger firms will increase their orders for the aircraft in response to the increasing passenger volume. In 2009 Turkey predicted a need for 54 new large-bodied aircraft, but this estimate was raised to 60 in 2010 to meet growing demand.
"In particular, the addition of domestic destinations to different output points, and bilateral agreements in parallel with international flight network helps the airline companies to grow. A new aircraft is ordered every day to meet demand" said Ali Arıduru, summing up the present state of civil aviation. "The number of domestic destinations has risen from 25 to 45, while international destination numbers have rise from 70 to 130. In the face of this growth, the number of aircraft in the airlines' fleet is growing with each passing day. According to the Directorate General of our applications this year, more than 60 large-bodied aircraft are waiting to enter the Turkish registry.
According to the Global Market Research Reports in Turkey, in line with growth of 10.1 percent over the next 20 years, Turkey will grow most rapidly within the market. With this predicted rate of 10 growth even markets such as India will be left behind. A 9.4 percent projected growth is coming from China and North Africa. The report about Turkey's civil aviation since 2003 predicts a rapid growth in domestic passengers and says it will exceed 60 million. For Turkey's civil aviation to meet this growth, adding more aircraft to the fleet is required. According to predictions, we anticipate that our fleet of aircraft would be over 600 within 10 years.
Sabiha Gokcen Airport, with 53 percent growth in 2009, had the highest passenger growth in Europe. Dr. Ali Arıduru, emphasizes that 4 Turkish and 36 foreign airlines operate flights to 68 points in 28 countries from Sabiha Gokcen. The number of airlines that use this airport is growing every day. These developments and the increasing number of passengers in air-space and the operations of airlines here believe that to be an important element" he said.
The importance of increasing the control of the aircraft fleet is also growing. Parallel to this rapid growth in the fleet, in 2009 the civil aviation industry carried out a total of 4826 inspections. After France and Germany, Turkey took third place out of 44 European countries in terms of meeting SAFA control regulations. This met all audit objectives and was an increase on previous years.
One aircraft lands or takes off every 90 seconds at Istanbuls Ataturk Airport. The new terminal and planned increase in capacity of Sabiha Gökçen will further accelerate growth in air traffic in Turkey.

Noelbaba, I'm a turkish citizen residing in Sweden.
Do you think that it will be possible to start working in Turkey without a type rating in hand in the foreseeable future with only a fATPL+MCC and 300hrs? I have no university diploma so THY seems to be out of the question.
