Çelebi Aviation, a global provider of ground and cargo services, is preparing to expand its operations at Indonesia's two main aviation hubs, Bali I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) and Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK), through a new collaboration with Turkish Airlines.

Turkish Airlines' currently planned flights, 7 times a week in Jakarta and 12 times a week in Bali, will be increased to 10 and 14 flights respectively in the coming period. Within the scope of these flights on the Istanbul–Jakarta–Istanbul and Istanbul–Bali–Istanbul routes, Çelebi Aviation is expected to manage approximately 1.000 flight operations annually and serve 650 passengers per year.

Strategic expansion in international airline portfolio.

The inclusion of Turkish Airlines in the portfolio represents a significant milestone for Çelebi Aviation's Indonesian operations. This collaboration strengthens the company's position in the international market and also serves as a strong reference and a source of trust for other global airlines. With this step, Çelebi Aviation is expanding its operational scale in the region while also supporting its goal of increasing its international market share.

Jakarta, the capital and business hub of Indonesia, serves as a critical center connecting to hundreds of different destinations, while Bali stands out as the country's most important tourism gateway and a globally prominent holiday destination. The services offered at these two key centers will contribute to the efficient and uninterrupted management of both business and leisure-oriented passenger traffic.

A sustainable and passenger-focused service approach.

Çelebi Aviation continues to bring its sustainability focus to the field by using fully electric equipment in Turkish Airlines operations. These practices, which contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions, offer an operational model that is consistent with environmentally friendly airport goals.

The company's passenger experience approach focuses on safety, operational excellence, and service quality. Çelebi Aviation teams aim to provide Turkish Airlines passengers with a safe, punctual, and comfortable travel experience by ensuring the smooth running of operational processes at both airports.

Andy Dias, General Manager of Çelebi Aviation Indonesia, said the following regarding the matter:
“This collaboration with Turkish Airlines is extremely valuable as it reflects the maturity level our operations in Indonesia have reached and the trust we have built among international airlines. With the operations we previously launched in Bali and Jakarta, we have established a strong operational infrastructure and experience in the region. Today, we are pleased to transform this accumulated knowledge into a collaboration with a leading global airline.”

For the first time in Indonesia, all ground handling processes for a wide-body aircraft will be carried out using fully electric ground handling equipment; this will set a new standard for sustainable aviation in the country.

We believe this collaboration will not only expand our service coverage in Indonesia but also further strengthen our position in the international market. With the competence of our local teams, our approach to operational excellence, and our sustainable service model, we aim to provide Turkish Airlines passengers with a safe, timely, and high-standard travel experience. We also believe that this collaboration will serve as a strong reference for new airline partnerships in the region.”
