KUWAIT: Turkish Airlines’ AnadoluJet brand goes global on March 29 with the launch of new international flights from Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Airport. The move was announced during the pre-launch event held at JW Marriott Hotel in Kuwait with attendance of over 100 representatives from the travel industry.

Set to carry its service quality abroad, the airline’s expanded flight network will include 14 weekly flights from/to Sabiha Gokcen at affordable fares. The service will be available from KWD 48 between Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Airport and Kuwait International Airport respectively.

Since its inception in 2008, AnadoluJet has provided more than 100 million passengers with affordable, and comfortable flights between Turkey’s domestic airports. Operating its flights with experienced Turkish Airlines cabin and cockpit crew, AnadoluJet will introduce international routes covering 27 destinations in 17 countries, taking its total 70 destinations in 20 countries.

With its fleet size also set to reach 57 aircraft, the brand will continue to grow abroad while offering affordability alongside the high quality standards, which Turkish Airlines is globally renowned for. This includes complimentary onboard catering by Turkish

DO&CO, free baggage allowance (20 kg checked plus 8kg cabin), as well as other advantageous additional services to make passengers’ travel experiences convenient, and comfortable. Additionally, AnadoluJet’s entire operational processes, from ground services to technical maintenance, will be covered by Turkish Airlines’ stamp of approval.

Speaking at the press conference, Senior Vice President of Regional Flights at Turkish Airlines and Head of AnadoluJet, Said Samil Karakas, stated; “To this day, Turkish Airlines has carried millions of passengers to four corners of the world. From March 29 onwards, AnadoluJet will carry the world-renowned quality of its parent brand with its new international expansion by opening its doors to Kuwait and a number of abroad flight points as well. This expansion will allow us to offer our warm and welcoming Turkish hospitality to more passengers while providing them with affordable and comfortable travel options.”

“We redesigned our AnadoluJet brand to become a meeting point of worldwide passengers with its new international expansion, just like its namesake Anatolia, the land that has long been the connecting point of numerous civilizations throughout history. I believe that after connecting Anatolia from one corner to another, AnadoluJet will successfully link cities of the world with its highly advantageous flight options,” he added.

With its aircraft consisting solely of the economy class configuration, AnadoluJet will increase its passenger capacity by 22 per cent, offering an additional 1.2 million seats to more travellers at affordable fares.
