The bankruptcy decision issued by the Bakırköy 2nd Commercial Court of First Instance regarding Onur Air has been overturned on appeal. The case file has been sent back to the local court.
A Critical Decision on the Aviation Agenda
A significant judicial development has taken place regarding Onur Air, which has long been closely followed within the Turkish aviation sector.
The bankruptcy decision issued in November 2025 by the Bakırköy 2nd Commercial Court of First Instance was overturned following appellate review. The case file has been referred back to the court of first instance.
Bankruptcy Ruling Reversed, Process to Restart
The bankruptcy ruling issued on 5 November 2025 was quashed and annulled by the higher judicial authority. As a result, the court decision that had previously initiated the liquidation process has lost its validity.
However, this development does not mean that Onur Air’s legal process has been fully concluded. The case will be reconsidered by the local commercial court, and a new evaluation process will begin. Legal uncertainties concerning the bankruptcy administration and liquidation proceedings will also be clarified following the new trial.
Operations Had Ceased After the Pandemic
Onur Air had been one of the leading private airlines in Turkish civil aviation for many years. However, it suspended its operations after the pandemic, and its licence was suspended by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation.
The reversal of the ruling concerning the company, which had entered into legal liquidation proceedings following the bankruptcy decision issued in the final quarter of 2025, is being regarded as a noteworthy development within the sector.
The Sector Is Closely Monitoring the Process
Circles within aviation and commercial law are closely monitoring the local court’s renewed assessment and the potential impact of any new decision on the sector.
In the coming period, the court’s ruling will determine both the company’s legal status and the course of the process for creditors.
