History



Early years


The airline was founded in 2008 by Yalcin Ayasli,[2] a Turkish businessman living in the US. Fatih Akol is chairman of the board. The company rented a hangar at Atatürk International Airport, Istanbul and then purchased three second-hand ATR 72-500 turboprop aircraft, which were delivered at the beginning of 2010.[5]

Borajet received its "Regional Airline Operations License" on 22 April 2010[7] and started operations on 7 May 2010 with its first flight from Istanbul to Tokat.[8]

In 2014 Borajet agreed a deal to lease five Embraer 190 aircraft (with options on a further three) from GE Capital Aviation Services.[9] In October 2016 Borajet announced long-term lease deals with AerCap for three Embraer 190-E2 and two Embraer 195-E2 aircraft, with deliveries to begin in 2018.[10] In January 2017 the airline was sold to Sezgin Baran Korkmaz for 260 Million Dollars.[11]


Suspension of operations


On 24 April 2017, Borajet announced that they will temporarily suspend their operations and 30,000 existing flight reservations would be transferred to Turkish Airlines.[12] The airline stated maintenance issues as a reason for this move and plans to resume operations sometime during 2018 when Istanbul's new international airport becomes operational.[3] In June 2017, a Turkish court ordered that seven aircraft of the company are to be seized.[13]

As of January 2021, the airline did not resume its operations.
