Low cost carrier AJet introduced flights between Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Airport and Skopje over the weekend, becoming the second carrier to serve the route after Pegasus Airlines. AJet, a Turkish Airlines subsidiary, will maintain four weekly flights between the two cities, on Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Some of the flights over the summer will be maintained with wet-leased Boeing 737 MAX 8 and Airbus A321 aircraft operated by SmartLynx, as well as A321s by Indonesia’s BBN Airlines.
