Analysis of financial performance by ratio analysis method: An application in air transport sector in Turkey
Abstract
This study examines the impact of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic on the financial performance of Turkey's major airline companies, including Turkish Airlines and Pegasus Airlines. The ratio analysis, based on data from 2018 to 2023, demonstrates the alterations in the airline industry and the financial implications of these changes. The findings of the research demonstrate that the pandemic has had a detrimental impact on the revenue, cost, and profitability ratios of airline companies. In particular, the decline in the number of passengers and the increased operating costs have had a markedly adverse effect on the financial performance of the companies. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that the robust financial position of Turkish Airlines prior to the pandemic enabled it to demonstrate greater resilience during the crisis, although it still incurred substantial losses. In contrast, Pegasus Airlines exhibited a more resilient financial structure, enabling it to navigate the crisis with less damage. Consequently, this study offers valuable insights into the post-Covid-19 recovery trajectory of the airline industry and proposes avenues for future research.
