EX-YU Aviation

Turkish Airlines has scaled back its planned expansion to Zagreb and Ljubljana, while also reducing frequencies to Sarajevo and Pristina. In Zagreb, the carrier initially intended to introduce three additional weekly red-eye flights from July 2, bringing the total to 24 weekly services. However, after postponing the launch to July 23, the airline has further adjusted its schedule. It will now operate 23 weekly flights between Istanbul and the Croatian capital from July 28, decreasing to 21 weekly from September 1, and 20 weekly from September 8.

In Ljubljana, Turkish Airlines increased its frequencies from fourteen to eighteen weekly flights in mid-June. However, services will be temporarily reduced to sixteen weekly for the week starting August 4, before increasing to seventeen weekly until October. The schedule is then set to return to eighteen weekly flights, although the airline has yet to finalise its October timetable. In Sarajevo, one weekly rotation will be cut in August, reducing operations from 24 to 23 weekly flights, and from a planned 21 to 20 weekly in September. Similarly, in Pristina, frequencies will be reduced from fourteen to thirteen weekly flights in both August and September.

This week, Turkish Airlines cancelled more than 100 flights for both August and September, cutting over 22.000 seats in each month. The airline has not provided an official explanation for the cancellations. Turkish Airlines continues to be affected by the Pratt & Whitney PW1000G GTF engine issues on its Airbus A320neos, though the ratio of grounded aircraft has improved as more spares have become available on the market. It is unclear whether these cancellations are in relation to engine inspections, although almost all the cancelled flights are on short and medium-haul services. The carrier’s Chairman, Ahmet Bolat, said recently, “I expect that [engine] issue will be solved completely in three to four years”. Around thirty A320neo aircraft will remain grounded by the end of 2025, a noticeable drop from a previous peak of 45 grounded aircraft.

The Jakarta Post

ew carrier Indonesia Airlines’ operational launch remains uncertain due to an incomplete verification process, as the airline has yet to submit its business plan, the Transportation Ministry said.

The ministry’s civil aviation director general Lukman F. Laisa said the verification process was a crucial part of the licensing system.

“Unverified status means the process has not been completed. There is no operational certainty until all stages are completed in accordance with the regulations,” he said in a press release on Friday.

Lukman emphasized that the ministry had yet to receive applications of the necessary permits related to the establishment of Indonesia Airlines.

However, he expressed readiness to support new carrier establishments and initiatives, as long as all processes were transparent and comply with the regulations.

In response, Indonesia Airlines said the licensing process would proceed gradually and that the company was committed to following all procedures.

“So, it is still in progress until the final [verification] later,” Indonesia Airlines deputy chief corporate officer Hadi Surya told The Jakarta Post on Friday.
