Turkish Airlines mulls low-cost push with independent AnadoluJet
Management at Turkish Airlines are evaluating whether to separate AnadoluJet, the carrier’s low-cost brand, into an independent company that can more effectively compete with rivals like Pegasus Airlines in Ankara. “Today, AnadoluJet is the brand name of Turkish Airlines. It is a dedicated group but it is not a company,” THY CE Bilal Ekşi said. “We are discussing [whether] to separate AnadoluJet as a company. It is under discussion and the decision is not yet given, but the board has requested us to make the evaluation.” Ekşi says the outcome should be known by the end of this year, at which point plans will also be made for AnadoluJet’s fleet development. About 32 Boeing 737-800s are currently flown on behalf of AnadoluJet by THY and its subsidiary SunExpress. <br/>
