The Cluj-Napoca - Istanbul route suddenly became attractive and interesting for several airlines. TAROM, Pegasus Airlines, Turkish Airlines, just a few names to open this route. While TAROM and Pegasus Airlines gave up, Turkish Airline will launch the Cluj-Napoca - Istanbul route.
Here we are writing about another airline operator interested in this route. "Avram Iancu" Cluj International Airport announces that starting with 18 July 2016, the airline operator Atlasglobal will operate regular flights on the route Cluj-Napoca - Istanbul - Cluj-Napoca. 3 weekly flights were announced with Airbus A321 aircraft, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, in addition to those announced by Turkish Airlines. The route is loaded on the website of the Atlasglobal operator, and the rates start from 182 EURO.

The airline Atlasjet Airlines was established at 14 March 2001, based in Turkey. From 2015, the airline decided to continue operating the flights under the name Atlasglobal.
Atlasglobal currently operates a fleet of 24 aircraft: an Airbus A319 type aircraft, 9 Airbus A320 aircraft and 14 Airbus A321 aircraft.
It seems that Atlas will give up Cluj-Istanbul, from now on the end of October. Good luck with the Turkish that I hope to resist. Sorin, can you get some data about what average number of travelers a particular company has on a certain route? Or is there such public data somewhere?
Yes, Atas gives up the route. Very low load on their flights. However, we consider it a hasty decision. A route is increased through investments in marketing and advertising. Atlas was impatient… Or maybe other factors led to the cancellation of the route.
