AJet Flight Network: Strong Domestic Presence, Rapid International Growth
AJet continues to expand both domestically and internationally as an airline brand operating under the umbrella of Turkish Airlines and formerly known as AnadoluJet. The company’s main hub is Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, and it particularly operates flights departing from various cities across Anatolia.
Extensive Domestic Network
AJet operates direct flights to numerous destinations across Türkiye. In addition to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen, operations departing from Ankara and İzmir also constitute key components of the network.
Tourism and commercial centres such as Antalya, Adana, Gaziantep, Diyarbakır, Trabzon, Erzurum, Van, Kayseri, Bodrum and Dalaman are among the prominent destinations within AJet’s domestic network.
With its structure connecting Anatolian cities to major hubs, the company holds a strong position particularly within the price-focused passenger segment.
International Focus on Europe and the Middle East
AJet’s international strategy is shaped around Europe, the Middle East and the Balkans. With Germany as a primary market, the airline operates flights to key destinations in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and Switzerland.
In the Middle East market, destinations such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain stand out. Along the Balkans and Caucasus corridor, cities including Tirana, Sarajevo, Pristina, Tbilisi and Baku are part of the flight network.
Fleet and Operational Structure
AJet’s fleet mainly consists of Boeing 737-800 and next-generation Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft. Its single-type aircraft family-based operational model provides cost advantages and operational efficiency.
Operating under a low-cost carrier model, the company is positioned particularly within price-performance-focused competition.
