Nice ad. You can't go wrong with The Voice Of God.

Still, it's going to go right over the heads of most consumers who see it ("what? they're squishing together Africa and those other places? How?!!!"). Buying Superbowl ad time for this seems like a miss (wrong target demographic).

Turkish should instead invest into flight safety and pilot training. Their numerous crashes due to unprofessional flying are a disgrace to the whole industry.

i know 30 secs translates into spending another million dollars but the 60 second video is wayyyy better than the 30 second video. Now it's all about calculating that ROI.

Yes i saw them all. Do you have any suggestions on what the crew can do for bird strikes or turbulence or lightning strike, Mr. Maximus?

Excellent concept, compelling imagery and subtle but spot-on narrative....and you can't go wrong with hiring the universally adored/respected Morgan Freeman (!!!!). Now how will they translate the branding/pitch to other media forms, such as print or out of home?

I’m talking about all the runway excursions, nearly happened crashes and actual crashes.

Turkish has some of the worst pilots in the industry with no regards to well established international safety standards and bad airmanship.

I'm surprised they chose not to somehow use their newest seat...

I think the old seat gives a more open feeling to the cabin and is probably easier to film in.

Nice, but “I feel like a star” with Kevin Costner was still the best.

You still don't get it, i***t. Bringing up some Turkish propaganda media that talks about MAINTENANCE while I'm criticizing the PILOT'S FLYING SKILLS and BEHAVIOUR. Even if the planes are in pristine condition, a pilot who can't fly will still crash it.

If the Turkish Lira continues collapsing like in the last years under Erdogan the Great, Turkish Airlines will also no longer be able to pay for replacement parts as they are traded in dollars.

I actually got goosebumps. All of the videos are brilliant. I have flown with Turkish Airlines for years and will continue to do so.

If there's an i***t here, it's you. 70% of Turkish Airlines passengers are international passengers and they buy their tickets with foreign currency. Did you understand? In this case, the loss of value in the Turkish lira is in the interest of Turkish airlines.I don't want to argue with you anymore.
