    With the courtesy of the national demand for liberty, such as the resolutions of 24th January 1980 and the ratification of Turkey’s constitution of 1982, the airline liberalization initiated by the United States of America in 1978 stimulated Turkey to accede to the air transport deregulation in 1983. The airline liberalization intrinsically contributed to the further autonomy of private enterprises to operate in the airline industry and eliminated restrictions on pricing and routes. Accordingly, the airline industry rapidly gained momentum, fostering competition by establishing new airlines while offering unprecedentedly affordable prices and diverse destinations for tourist attractions. From 1980 until 1995, tourist arrival went up from 1.1 million to 7.1 million, and tourism receipts increased from $0.4 billion to almost $7 billion, marking the pinnacle of tourism within a decade. Considering the enthralling numbers seen, it is worth heeding how airline liberalization in 1983 played a key factor in the expansion of Turkey’s tourism sector, both internationally and domestically. Overall, this research paper aims to juxtapose the pre-existing economic structure before the airline liberalization with the economy after the deregulation to see whether its impact was prominent in the growth of the tourism sector within an entire decade following the implementation of airline liberalization.
