M. İlker Aycı, Turkish Airlines chairman of the board and executive committee:

“At Turkish Airlines we are dedicated to ensuring a premium journey and always seeking ways to enhance our passenger experience.

“As we continue to connect cultures and bridge continents across our widening network, we are excited to offer the PressReader service, keeping our passengers connected to global news and information”.

Alex Kroogman, PressReader CEO:

“There’s been a real shift in the way both consumers and the industry think about newspaper and magazine content. Now, it’s part of the travel experience.
