TURKISH AVIATION - Modest passenger growth in September

The General Directorate of the State Airports Authority (DHMI) reported modest air passenger figures for September 2019, curbed by weak domestic passenger numbers.

Total passenger traffic was up by 2.8% y-y (vs. -1.4% y-y in August) to 21.3m, boosted by international passenger traffic. Accordingly, domestic passengers declined by 11% y-y (-14% in August 2019) to 8.7m while international passenger traffic was up by 16% y-y (+15% in August) to 12.6m in September 2019.

We believe that airports data for September indicates relatively healthy performance. Hence, we expect market reaction to be marginally positive for aviation stocks like Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and TAV Airports.
