AJet Expands Its Flight Network, Reaching 100 Destinations

AJet, the low-cost airline brand of Turkish Airlines, continues to expand its flight network and enhance its technological infrastructure. AJet CEO Kerem Sarp shared important statements on a range of topics, including the company’s future goals, technological investments, contributions to tourism, and operational achievements.

Stockholm Route Launched: Daily Round-Trip Flights

AJet’s newest destination in Europe is Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. The first direct flight between Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport and Stockholm Arlanda Airport took place on 2 June with an official ceremony. The daily round-trip flights are expected to boost tourism and trade between the two countries.

The ceremony was attended by Türkiye’s Ambassador to Stockholm, Yönet Can Tezel, AJet CEO Kerem Sarp, and airport officials. Sarp commented, “With the Stockholm route, our goal is to bring tourists not only to Türkiye but to the broader region as well.”

Sarp: “AJet Has Made Its Mark on Aviation History”

Kerem Sarp highlighted that AJet had an unprecedented start in the aviation industry, stating, “There’s no other airline that launched with 80 aircraft and over 400 scheduled daily flights. New airlines typically begin with just a few planes. In this sense, AJet has made aviation history.”

Growth to Continue with New Routes

Within just three days, AJet launched three new international routes, increasing the number of international destinations to 59 in 34 countries. Including domestic flights, the airline now serves 100 destinations in total. AJet plans to launch 15 new routes in 7 additional countries in 2026.

Sarp said, “In the coming years, we’ll continue to focus on expanding our network in the European market. Our aim is to increase both the number and diversity of visitors coming to Türkiye.”

“AJet to Have the Youngest Fleet in the World by 2027”

Touching on fleet investments, Kerem Sarp said, “If aircraft deliveries arrive on schedule, we will have the world’s youngest fleet by 2027. By 2026, 67% of our fleet will consist of new-generation aircraft aged between 1 and 2 years.”

He also announced that starting from July 2025, AJet will begin using domestically produced, comfortable seats on its aircraft: “We are starting to install our new slimmer and more comfortable seats, which we’ve named ‘Minigram.’”

AI-Powered Digital Transformation

Sarp also drew attention to AJet’s digital transformation: “We have started integrating artificial intelligence into both customer experience and operational processes. Our website, mobile app, and other digital channels are constantly improving, and processes are becoming more efficient.”

“We Strive to Connect on a Human Level”

Emphasising the airline’s commitment to passenger satisfaction, Sarp said, “We aim to build an emotional connection between our cabin crew and our guests. We receive advance information for passengers with special conditions, families with children, or those with a fear of flying. This personalised approach makes a difference.”

Punctuality Above Eurocontrol Average

AJet is also assertive in operational performance, reporting on-time departure rates above the Eurocontrol regional average.

Supporting the Growth of Tourism

AJet not only supports the sea-sun-sand type of tourism but also plays a role in transporting passengers for cultural, gastronomic, and health tourism. Cities such as Şanlıurfa, Gaziantep, Mardin, Konya, and Eskişehir are among its new target destinations. Sarp concluded, “We want to promote so much more of what Türkiye has to offer.”
