(Photo Turkish Airlines)

TURKISH AIRLINES has announced that it will rebrand its low-cost subsidiary AnadoluJet as AJet Air Transportation Inc – AJet for short – and move the carrier to its own AOC starting in March 2024. The first aircraft to wear the new AJet colour scheme, an Airbus A321-271NX, TC-LUC (c/n 10275), has already been revealed.

Turkish Airlines chairman Ahmet Bolat said: “In line with our goals for the next ten years, we are proud to have started the establishment process of our AJet. The efforts and dedication we have put in for a long time have paid off, and we will introduce AJet to the skies with the summer schedule. We fully believe that AJet will become an important part of the low-cost aviation industry on a global scale.”
