With the transformation of THY’s sub-brand Anadolujet into an airline based in Sabiha Gökçen as AJet, Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (İSG) became a hub in economical airline operations. Here are all the details about the subject…
Anadolujet’s new name is AJet!
The first aircraft of AJet Air Transportation Joint Stock Company, established as a subsidiary of Turkish Airlines as of July 2023, will be operated by Teknik A.Ş. at Sabiha Gökçen Airport. It was introduced at the launch held in the hangar. The aircraft painted in the corporate colors of AJet, which said goodbye to the red color in its new logo and used blue and black colors, was shown for the first time.
Sabiha Gökçen Airport will host Turkey’s 2 giant low-cost carriers, as AJet has determined its headquarters as Sabiha Gökçen in order to continue its activities as a low-cost airline at global standards and strengthen its competitive position in the market.
Anadolujet is changing its name: Here is its new name!
A new decision was made for Anadolujet. Maybe it will be “a new face, a new identity” as in that famous line. Here are the details…
Following the establishment of the company, AJet received flight operation authorization and requested slots for different airports from the General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGCA), especially increasing the importance of Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport.
According to ‘Airport Authority’ HEAŞ data, Sabiha Gökçen, which hosted a total of 31 million passengers in the first 10 months of this year, exceeded the number of passengers carried in the previous year as of October. AJet aircraft, which are expected to take to the skies in the first quarter of 2024, are expected to have a positive impact on passenger traffic at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen, the “city’s airport”.
In the statement made by the airport, it was stated that this development was welcomed and said, “AJet’s decision to locate its headquarters in Sabiha Gökçen is proof that our airport is the reason for preference for airlines that want to increase business efficiency and connectivity.
We value the partnerships we have established so far with all airline companies. “As the ‘city airport’, we will continue to increase our number of destinations and strengthen our partnerships with new collaborations.” Sabiha Gökçen serves a total of 162 destinations, including 122 international and 40 domestic routes, in 53 countries.
