Abstract

The growing airline transportation in the world and Turkey in recent years has increased the importance of airline passenger and cargo transportation operations and has brought intense competition in the domestic and international airlines market. Under intense competition, it is of utmost importance to capture the sustainable success of an ever-evolving and growing market by accurately assessing the financial performance and risks of businesses. In addition to the financial ratios generally used in all sectors, a number of indicators specific to the airline industry are used to assess the financial status of companies operating in the airline industry. These ratios and indicators will be calculated to compare for past periods and years, to assess risks for the future, to make forecasts, to report, to be able to see the financial status of the business concerned and to plan and make decisions in a more healthy and accurately. In this paper, after literature review, one of the most important financial risk evaluation model Altman Z’’ score is examined and an application with Turkish Airlines’ quarterly last 3 years financial data is evaluated.
