The New Era for Anadolujet
In order to serve the competing demands and our passengers who want to fly at reasonable prices, from March 2020 we will be transferring our international flights from Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport to Anadolujet, a fully owned subsidiary of Turkish Airlines. This way, Anadolujet will start to fly to 28 destinations in 19 countries. Anadolujet will fly to a total of 68 destinations on 107 routes, and will connect the world to Anatolia via Sabiha Gökçen International Airport. I would like to thank all our guests who chose to fly with Turkish Airlines from Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport to international destinations until today.
Our Goals for 2020
The Turkish Airlines family is determined to add new achievements to its current success. In addition to the new year goals we announced to the public, we also announced that we will continue our global growth to the whole world. Our passenger figures will reach a total of 80 million until the end of 2020;with an 82% load factor, Turkish Airlines will continue to be one of the top airlines in Europe. We will also continue to have one of the world’s few young fleets with our new generation wide-body and our new generation, narrow-body aircraft. We will be strengthening the expansive flight network we offer you, our dear guests, even further with the flights we will be launching to Newark, Osaka, and Haneda Airport in Tokyo. We hope that World Cigarette Boycott Day, February 9, will be an opportunity for a new beginning by giving up harmful habits, and that Valentine’s Day, February 14, brings happiness to you and your loved ones.
