While every point of the country is connected from the air as well as from the land, we also strengthen our social and economic ties with the world. The Regional Aviation Policy and civil aviation initiated by our Ministry in 2003 has entered a very rapid growth process. As our President pointed to us, the airline became the way of the people in a short time. We increased our number of airports from 2003 in 26 to 56. We have increased our flight service from 2 centers to 26 points on domestic lines to 7 destinations from 56 centers. We carried our international flights to 50 destinations in 60 countries to 127 destinations in 329 countries. Our passenger traffic, which was 2003 million in domestic and international flights in 34, exceeded 2019 million in 209. With these investments, our sector turnover increased from 2,2 billion dollars to 27,2 billion dollars and our country took its place among the leading countries in the world in the field of aviation. Today, we are taking firm steps towards becoming an international center not only for our region but also for the whole world in every mode of transportation. Our giant projects, which we have put forward to perfect the transportation across the country and to serve our people with the most up-to-date technologies in the field of communication, carry our country to its great goals. Transportation and communication have always been a national issue for us during our 18 years of power. With these thoughts, we have created a work plan by bringing together the steps that will add value to the investments made so far, our new projects to be implemented and our reform efforts under the heading of 'National Transport and Infrastructure Policy'. I hope you will proudly follow the great works we will do within this comprehensive road map. "

In this way, the economy of Malatya has grown in the last 500 years, its prosperity has increased and more investments are needed. We determined that the extensions made due to the increasing passenger demand for airline transportation could not meet the future needs.
