I have flown through Istanbul many times enroute to other areas in SW Asia. The Turkish Airline logo is THY. A friend of mine asked me on one particular flight, Do you know what THY means? I said, no. It stands for They Hate You Airlines.
LOL! I haven’t heard that in a long time.
THY=Turk Hava Yollara=They Hate You
Only flight I’ve been on when all the locals clap and cheer when the plane lands.
