Turkish Airlines aims to recruit 1,000 pilots, the deputy CEO in charge of human resources Abdulkerim Cay said Friday.
"Now, our target is 1,000 pilots to meet our needs," Cay told reporters in Istanbul.
Cay said the capacity will increase after once the new Istanbul airport becomes operational.
Istanbul's third airport is expected to be formally open to air traffic on Oct. 29.
