AJet, through a strategic partnership with Europe’s tourism giant TUI, will launch direct flights from Bodrum to numerous European cities during the summer season of 2026.
Rapidly expanding its international network, AJet has taken a significant step to attract more tourists from Europe to Turkey’s holiday paradise, Bodrum. The airline has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with TUI, one of Europe’s leading tourism groups, to open new direct routes from Bodrum in the 2026 summer season.
With this new collaboration, Bodrum will become AJet’s new operational base for the summer period. The partnership between AJet and TUI aims to make a substantial contribution to Turkish tourism.
Direct Flights from Europe to Bodrum Begin
As part of the partnership, AJet will operate regular charter and scheduled flights from Europe to Bodrum. The new routes will establish direct connections between Bodrum and major European tourism hubs.
Under the new summer schedule, AJet will operate two weekly flights from Bodrum to London-Stansted, Nuremberg and Hamburg, and one weekly flight to Leipzig, Copenhagen, Berlin, Hanover, Vienna, Stockholm, Prague, Bucharest, Basel and Bremen.
TUI will provide sales and operational support on the designated routes and will handle a significant portion of the capacity. AJet’s first flight from Bodrum is scheduled for 26 June 2026.
“We Will Bring Numerous Tourists from Europe to Bodrum”
Commenting on the partnership, AJet CEO Kerem Sarp said:
“Our cooperation with TUI, one of Europe’s largest tourism groups, is truly exciting for us. Following Istanbul and Ankara, we aim to attract large numbers of tourists from Europe to the region with our new summer base in Bodrum. We plan to deepen this partnership further in the long term. As Turkey’s youngest airline, we continue to modernise our fleet, and starting in early 2026, we will begin offering internet service on our aircraft. We believe this strategic partnership with TUI will create great value for both companies.”
“We Are Delighted to Collaborate with AJet”
Stefan Baumert, Chief Commercial Officer for TUI Markets and Airline Operations, also commented on the partnership:
“We are very pleased to work with AJet, a company that shares our vision regarding Bodrum’s growth potential. The new routes and increased frequencies will further strengthen our Turkey product portfolio across Central, Northern and Eastern Europe. We see great opportunities to continue this collaboration in the coming years.”
