### Salaries and demand: Turkey and abroad

The Turkish market. Turkey is a regional aviation hub: Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, airports and maintenance centres create steady demand for pilots, controllers, engineers and aviation managers. Aviation is among the country's best-paid industries. Salary benchmarks age fast - ranges are reset every year with minimum-wage indexation, so rely on current-year figures.

What raises income: flight hours and ratings, ICAO aviation English, type ratings. We break down up-to-date salary ranges by city and employer in a free consultation.

## Should you choose Aeronautical Engineering?

### A strong fit if you…

- You are interested in Aeronautical Engineering and related subjects.
- You are ready to combine theory with practice - projects and internships.
- You're after a globally recognized diploma and the experience of living abroad.

### Consider carefully if…

- You're still choosing a direction - start with a quick consultation.
- Studying solely in your native language matters to you - calculate it with the university.

## Additional guide to programme language

For Aeronautical Engineering, students should compare not only the title but also the engineering base: electronics, energy systems and aviation routes can lead to different curricula. Bahcesehir lists Pilotage in English alongside English-taught engineering routes.

Examples to check with StudyU: [Bahcesehir University](https://www.studyu.org/en/university-bahcesehir): Pilotage — Pilot Training (Bachelor, English); [Bahcesehir University](https://www.studyu.org/en/university-bahcesehir): Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Bachelor, English); [Bahcesehir University](https://www.studyu.org/en/university-bahcesehir): Energy Systems Engineering (Bachelor, English).
