ROYAL AVIS AIR AVIATION

On 27.10.2016, Royal Avis Air Airlines Inc. was established in Istanbul with a separate partnership structure and incorporated into our group as a sister company. Its first major initiative took place during the 2016/2017 Umrah season, when, following an agreement with BoraJet Airlines, one aircraft was leased for Umrah flights between November and May. All official permits in Saudi Arabia were obtained by our company, and the first flight was successfully operated on 15 November 2016 from Bursa Yenişehir Airport. After six round-trip flights, operations were suspended due to internal issues within BoraJet Airlines, and the agreement was mutually terminated. Subsequently, the company continued its activities by organizing charter flight operations through Turkish Airlines. As of 2024, following its cooperation with Corendon Airlines, two aircraft were leased for Umrah and Hajj flights between October and June, with all official permits in Saudi Arabia once again secured by our company. The Umrah season began on 15 October 2024 with the first flight from İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport to Jeddah. By the end of the season on 28 April 2025, a total of 32,079 passengers (nearly 400 flights) had been transported on round-trip Umrah journeys. Additionally, during the ongoing Hajj season, 567 passengers have been carried on Hajj flights. The company’s long-term goal is to become a new international airline specializing in both passenger and cargo transportation.
