Established in 2008 to address the air transportation needs of Anatolia with advantageous options, AnadoluJet, a successful brand of Turkish Airlines, will operate as “AJet Air Transportation Inc.” as a wholly owned subsidiary of Turkish Airlines starting from the end of March 2024. The official announcement of this transformation took place at an event held at the Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport Turkish Technic hangar, attended by Turkish Airlines executives.

Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee, Prof. Dr. Ahmet Bolat, expressed pride in the establishment of AJET, stating, “In line with our goals for the next ten years, we are proud to have started the establishment process of our AJet.” Emphasising the culmination of dedicated efforts, Bolat announced that AJet would take to the skies with its new name as part of the summer schedule at the end of March 2024. He confidently asserted that AJet, under its new identity, would become a significant player in the global low-cost aviation industry.

AJet, positioned as a low-cost airline adhering to global standards, aims to strengthen its competitive standing in the market. Operations will be based at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen and Ankara Esenboğa airports. With a commitment to sustainability, the company plans to operate in an eco-friendly manner, entering the low-cost market with an innovative perspective. By simplifying services and adopting an economy-class configuration, AJet aims to translate cost advantages into ticket prices, making air transportation services accessible to a wider audience.
