Corendon to slash fleet by a third due to high fuel costs

Corendon Airlines Group will reduce its aircraft fleet from 30 Boeing 737s to 21 this winter season. This significant reduction represents nearly a third of the airline’s current operations, driven primarily by escalating fuel expenses. The decision impacts Corendon's airline units operating in Turkey, the Netherlands, and Malta. FlightGlobal sister publication Luchvaartnieuws initially reported this planned fleet cut. The group aims to mitigate financial pressures resulting from sustained high fuel costs impacting their overall business strategy.
