AJet, known as AnadoluJet until the end of March 2024, is a brand of Turkish Airlines operating as a low-cost[1] regional airline. It operates domestic flights as well as flights to Northern Cyprus, Western Europe and Western Asia for its parent company.
History
AnadoluJet was created on 23 April 2008 by Turkish Airlines. In March 2020, the brand was reconfigured to apply to the entire Turkish Airlines international route network operating from Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, consisting of over 20 routes.[2]
In February 2023, Turkish Airlines confirmed plans to spin-off AnadoluJet from an incorporated brand name into an independent airline with the name AJet Hava Taşımacılığı Anonim Şirketi (English: AJet Air Transportation Joint Stock Company), but it will continue to be a 100% subsidiary of Turkish Airlines.[3] Turkish Airlines said in a stock market disclosure that the new company was incorporated on July 14, 2023, with an initial paid-up capital of TRY450 million (EUR15.75 million), and will continue operating as an LCC.[4]
In November 2023, Turkish Airlines unveiled the airline's new branding and livery.[5] The airline will operate as a fully-owned low-cost subsidiary of Turkish Airlines.[6] It also plans to acquire a separate AOC for the carrier.[7]
