BBN Airlines (Türkiye) (BBT, Antalya) is a new Turkish ACMI/charter specialist planning to launch in December 2022 with two single-class, high-density A321-200s.

The start-up said it is in the process of certification with the Turkish civil aviation regulator (Sivil Havacılık Genel Müdürlüğü - SHGM). It did not respond to ch-aviation's request for added comment.

BBN Airlines said it will focus on providing "additional capacity for holiday charters, connecting various European countries" to its Antalya base.

Türkiye has been experiencing a boom in start-up airlines in 2022. Mavi Gök (MGH, Antalya) and Southwind (STW, Antalya) target the passenger leisure market, while Air Anka (TAH, Izmir) operates makeshift freighters. Unison Havacilik, a start-up linked to the operator of Istanbul New airport, was also registered, although its business plans remain unknown.
