This week Aero Paradise acquired two more B737-300s. With these we have both started new routes (included our first international route) aswell as increasing frequencies on our Trans-Anatolia routes to eastern Turkey but a frequency reduction to Ankara.
We decided to start our first international route to the Greek Capital of Athens. Not only is there Cultural and historical ties between the two cities that date back centuries, but also our passngers have a wealth of connections at there disposal due IL partner FlyBlue and European Connect Airways offer a multitude of connecting opportunites in Athens as well as onto our own flights in Turkey.
The decision was made to reduce our Istanbul - Ankara flights to make way for the Athen's route due to low load factors as result of major competition on the route meaning that capacity could be relocated elsewhere with more success.

With this expansion we have taken the number of departures we will have to 268 per week to 15 destinations throughout Turkey providing ample connection opportunites for our passengers on to our other flights aswell on to our interlining partner’s flights.
The addition of a 1am departure bank was implemented to ensure more connection opportunities for our passengers arriving on our late night arrivals (between 2300 and midnight into IST) and our early morning departures from IST. We expect to become the 2nd biggest airline at Istanbul by market share once these flights get off and running.
Our Athens flight is ideally timed to connection to a multitude of destinations at both ends of the route. Arrving in IST we offer a mere 80 minute connection to 8 onward destinations through out Turkey.
