How the pay is built
Entry packages around ₺55,000–75,000/mo including flight pay, with heavy-flying months and seniority pushing totals higher; per diems on international sectors paid in foreign currency. Taxed under Turkish law.
Income is taxed at this base, so compare the figure above against tax-free Gulf packages carefully: a smaller tax-free salary can be worth more in real terms. You fund your own housing, so local rent is the number that decides what this salary is really worth.
Accommodation
Crew arrange their own housing; the Sabiha Gökçen base makes Istanbul's more affordable Asian-side districts practical, and secondary bases (Ankara, Izmir, Antalya) offer lower living costs still.
