Dear Passengers,

Since Turkish Airlines was founded in 1933, it has developed from being a national to an international company, and played a pioneering role in Turkey's expanding links with the rest of the world. With a staff of over ten thousand, we carry passengers to 26 destination points at home and 77 abroad, endeavouring to fulfil our mission of uniting you with your loved ones. As part of this mission we seek to offer more economical rates in the low season, with special prices on certain routes.
Similarly you can also take advantage of surprise offers during February for everyone wishing to celebrate St Valentine's Day on 14 February. Full details of all special offers are available at our website www.thy.com and Turkish Airlines ticket sales offices.

In the third year of our miles@miles programme, I want to give you some brief information about our new miles spending campaign being launched for the first time. For the period 17 February to 31 March 2003, we have reduced the mileage proportion to almost half a mile for free tickets and prize tickets for your companion on flights out of Turkey. Instead of spending 20,000 miles for economy class tickets from Turkey to Europe, you now only require 10,000 miles; while for business class tickets, instead of 25,000 miles only 15,000 miles are required. For full details of our mile spending campaign and to take advantage of this offer, please call us on 444 0 849.

As of this month we have increased the choice of films on our long-distance flights, with a range of films for every taste. We also hope that you will approve the changes we have made to our music channels. I take this opportunity to wish our passengers happiness on the occasion of the Sacrificial Holiday that is being celebrated throughout the Islamic world this February.
Wishing you all happy flights.
