''The Trade Relationship & Collaboration in Aviation Between the United Kingdom and Türkiye ''

by Kenan Poleo, United Kingdom Consul General İstanbul & Trade Commissioner Eastern Europe & Central Asia

The United Kingdom and Türkiye share a growing trade partnership in aviation, and we are committed to expanding our collaboration in this field.

Hosting some of the world's most innovative service and engineering companies, the United Kingdom is ready to support Türkiye's global expansion in aviation.

We are already witnessing great developments in this field. The recent agreement by Turkish Airlines to finalize the acquisition of 220 Airbus aircraft, with a significant portion of their engines provided by the UK-based Rolls Royce, is a clear example of what the two countries can achieve together.

Innovation Heritage

The United Kingdom utilizes the latest technologies in the following areas based on an engineering culture rooted in research and development:

• Strategic Advice

• Design

• Construction and Engineering

• Equipment and System Provision

• Operations

The United Kingdom's aviation supply chain operates in over 100 countries, including the world's top 60 international airports. In addition to having extensive experience in the design, planning, and construction of new airports, UK companies are also eager to provide solutions tailored to the needs of their partners in Türkiye, leveraging their expertise in airport and air traffic control management.

Sustainable Aviation

Türkiye has an ambitious energy transition agenda and a net-zero emissions target for 2053. The aviation sector will play a significant role in meeting these goals and achieving the desired growth of the industry. Considering the experience of UK companies in sustainable aviation solutions, I believe they are competent in assisting Türkiye in achieving these objectives.

These solutions encompass key environmental issues such as CO2 reduction, noise management, air quality, biodiversity, surface and groundwater pollution, as well as efficient management of resources such as energy, waste, and water.

Future Partnerships

As discussions continue to expand the existing Free Trade Agreement between the United Kingdom and Türkiye, and as our business relationships grow, now is undoubtedly the right time for companies in Türkiye to begin working with the United Kingdom.
