Turkish Airlines (THY) has grown by 20 percent according to third-quarter data, Anatolia News Agency reported. 

"Our profitability has increased 665 percent compared to the same period last year and we have earned 868 million Turkish Liras of profit this year." Hamdi Topçu, the chairman of the executive board said.

Topçu also talked about the company's new flight destinations, the cities of Yaounde and Douala in Cameroon. 

"These new destinations will reinforce ties between Turkey and Cameroon. Cameroon is one of the most important countries on the African continent. Our government's increasing interest in Africa forced us to be active in the region also." he said. 

THY aims to continue increasing its growth and to be one of the world's 10 biggest airlines.
