Our goal was not just to establish a new airline, but to create a holiday airline that brings people to their destinations safely, comfortably, and with warmth. Today, we are incredibly proud to see that this vision has become a success story. Millions of passengers have been a part of it over the past two decades.”

Karaer added: “Over the last 20 years, Corendon Airlines has continuously developed, thanks above all to our dedicated employees, reliable partners, and loyal guests. Our journey is far from over. We aim to continue growing, offering top service, and welcoming many more passengers on board in the years to come.”
