Turkish Airlines has a decisive role in achieving our target...
Stating that both travel and health trends will gain even more importance in the coming years, Savaşan said that Northern Cyprus has a great potential in the fields of medical, advanced age, disabled and SPA/Wellness in Health Tourism.

TRNC should be given a subsidiary brand like Anadolujet...
Emphasizing that instead of establishing a new airline in Northern Cyprus, bringing a subsidiary brand of THY such as AnadoluJet to the TRNC would make an extraordinary contribution to the country's tourism, Savaşan called on THY management to take steps in this regard.
