Onur Air (Turkish: Onur Air Taşımacılık AŞ, often styled OnurAir or Onurair) is a low-cost airline with its headquarters in the Technical Hangar B at Istanbul Atatürk Airport in Yeşilköy, Istanbul, Turkey.[1] It operates mostly domestic scheduled services, as well as a wide range of charter flights out of its base at Atatürk Airport.[2]
Onur Air was established on 14 April 1992 and started revenue operations using a wet-leased Airbus A320 with a flight to Ercan in North Cyprus on 14 May of that year.[3] «Onur» means proud, self-esteem in Turkish. Over the next years, the Onurair fleet grew, so that by the end of 1995, it included nine aircraft.[3] Previously its head office was in Florya, Bakırköy, Istanbul.[4]
In 1996, Ten Tour acquired ownership of the airline. By 1997 McDonnell Douglas MD-80 twin-jet airliners had been added to the fleet. Due to a recession,[specify] Onur Air had to reduce the size of its fleet to 13 in 1998, and then to 9 in 1999. Since then the airline has expanded again.[3]
Onur Air offers scheduled flights (excluding charter services) to the following destinations.[5]
As of April 2017, the Onur Air fleet consists of the following aircraft:[11]
