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.
