“On the 100th anniversary of our Republic, we aimed to have 100,000 children experience the 'Let a Child Come and Touch a Plane' programme. As of today, we reached this target in Izmir,” Muhammet Saymaz, Teknofest's secretary-general, told Anadolu Agency on the sidelines of the five-day event, which wrapped up in the Turkish Aegean province of Izmir on Sunday.
The project was conducted in memory of Ozdemir Bayraktar, the founder of one of Türkiye’s leading defence firms, Baykar.
