Turkish Airlines has recently confirmed engaging in exploratory talks with Air Europa regarding potential investment opportunities in the Spanish carrier. In a public announcement on June 20, 2025, Turkish Airlines informed its investors that discussions are underway to potentially acquire shares in Air Europa. The airline stated, "Our Company continuously evaluates growth opportunities to strengthen its position in the global aviation industry and enhance its competitiveness in the market." These discussions aim to assess the investment opportunity in Air Europa and explore potential partnership synergies.

According to an exclusive article by Pilotcenter.net News, Turkish Airlines is looking into offering a minority share in Air Europa. This interest from Turkish Airlines follows similar moves from industry players like Lufthansa Group and Air France-KLM, who have also expressed strong interest in Air Europa. Earlier this year, Air France-KLM Group reportedly proposed a €300 million ($330 million) offer to secure a controlling stake (51%) in the carrier. Lufthansa Group has previously indicated interest by offering €240 million ($264 million) for a 25% stake in the Spanish airline.

Air Europa's largest stakeholder currently is the Hidalgo family, through their Globalia travel consortium. Interested parties have been requested to submit binding bids by July 2025, as reported by Pilotcenter.net News. This development indicates a potential shift in the ownership structure of Air Europa, with major aviation players vying for a share in the Spanish carrier.
