Turkish Airlines subsidiary AJet had been granted the Air Operator Certificate (AOC), paving the way to launch services under its own leadership at the start of the summer season. The Turkish General Directorate of Civil Aviation granted the AOC on January 2, Turkish Airlines said in a public disclosure on Wednesday.
AJet is the rebranded low-cost carrier Anadolujet, which was established in 2008. Turkish Airlines announced last June that the airline would be separated from its parent and follow its own growth strategy. In line with the plans of Turkish Airlines to double in size by 2033, AJet has also a clear strategy to more than double.
The fleet should grow to 200 aircraft from the current 89, although AJet has not placed an order yet to support this strategy. On December 28, Turkish Airlines transferred the ownership of five Boeing 737
-800s to AJet as part of a capital increase. This should grow the fleet to 50 -800s, which complement 10 MAX 8s. The carrier is currently recruiting 737 pilots. AJet also operates seven A321ceo’s and 14 A321neo’s.
