Abstract :Cash is a vital resource for airline companies, which are said to be operating on a multinational level. From executing day-to-day operations to exploiting new investment opportunities, airline companies must maintain an optimal level of cash. The amount of cash level depends on a number of factors such as the company\`s activity level, the current conjuncture and international markets. In this study, the net cash flows and the changes in the level of cash and cash equivalents account of the flag carrier airline operating in Turkey, which can be considered as an international company, were analyzed using data of 2020, cash flows. In addition, company\`s relations with the IATA Clearing House were determined, evaluated and interpreted in term of cash management. The fact that there are very few studies in the national and international literature on the analysis, evaluation and interpretation of cash flows in the airline industry makes this study unique.
