atlasjet - london stansted - flights - cancelled

[libby]

I was informed that atlas jet were stopping their UK stansted route year - 2013 - indeed when i checked their system there are no flights after the 10th january 2013.
if any one has booked flights with them next year - i suggest you contact their call centre.

Pegasus on the other hand - still offer 2 or 3 flights daily from stansted...

If you have booked atlasjet flights on the internet - not through us -then I am affraid I cannot help you..
just thought this was quite important..

maybe they are going reschedule their flights...i don't know!

[Deniz1]

Thanks for the info hope they do re schedule.

[suehowlittle]

Libby - are you a travel agent for Pegasus?

If you are then we will contact you for travel arrangements in future

[jayne61]

Thank you for the info! We have just called the airline and they said they will refund us, they couldnt offer us any other alternative airport! Does anyone know whats happened to them?

[Deniz1]

Maybe its connected to when Cyprus Turkish airlines collapsed Atlas took over the routes for a limited time so maybe that agreement is over. I hope they start up again as Pegasus show no signs of improving the service.

deniz1,
The time Atlas covered CTA finished less than 6 months after the collapse after the government screwed them.

Atlas started this service earlier this year, presumably as competition to Pegasus. Know someone who flew with them and the flight they took was priced about the same but with full service.

They obviously have good business reasons for withdrawing the service, maybe the Ercan route was just not profitable for them.

The few times myself or other half fly to UK we could not fault Pegasus.

[libby]

Yes - I am the Pegasus representative...but we still sold Atlasjet.
I have to admit I was not surprised September 2011, my colleague and I had to call over 1000 customers to advise them their holiday flights had altered.
Atlasjet were flying STN - ECN - and just pulled the plug!!

It is a competitive market out there - and love them or hate them Pegasus are still there!
I do agree that their customer services leaves little to be desired - something I tell my boss on a regular basis!

But if you want to book with the a travel agent - Pegasus - I am your girl! I will tell you the cheapest option - us or the internet.
I can add meals and extra leg room seats onto internet bookings - i can hopefully answer all your enquiries.
If you book with the internet and then experience a problem, I am not supposed to help , but I will do my best if I can.

You will find me next to Kibhas and the Vaktif bank - on the Kyrenia roundabout

look out for the green cyprus xp flag.

we have the big office opposite the seker bank - and near hsbc - but their english is limited.

i look forwarded to meeting you all!!!!!

ps - i did not knowlingly add that stupid face!

These 2 paragraphs taken from World Travel Market under Turkey's launchpad:


"Meanwhile, Turkish carrier Pegasus Airlines will give details of its newest routes, including Batumi in Georgia and Lviv in Ukraine, both due to start in October 2012.
The new routes bring Pegasus’ network to 57, making it the fastest growing of Europe’s largest 25 airlines this year.

This expansion is driven by Pegasus’ order of 40 Next-Generation Boeing 737-800s, the largest aircraft order by any privately-owned Turkish airline, 32 of which have been delivered and the remaining due by 2015."

It must be doing something right.

Libby - msg 7, which is the Kyrenia roundabout?

[Deniz1]

Next door to the Vakif Bank by the Colony Hotel

[Ozangirl]

Big big shame, Atlasjet are so much better. My husband who is a regular flyer to the UK has just started using Atlasjet over the last few months and flew business class with them, they were great - looks like it's back to basics with Pegasus for him again !

[Deniz1]

Do Turkish Airlines fly from the Uk to Ercan?

[libby]

yes - turkish airlines fly from heathrow, birmingham, manchester
possible gatwick...not sure.......
to Ercan - early booking - can get great prices!

[woodspeckie]

Deniz. We are flying Manchester-Ercan 21st Nov Turkish Airlines I paid £479 for 2.

[woodspeckie]

libby. I will want a flight for 2 Ercan-Istanbul return around 3rd Dec what am I likely to pay?

There was a article in the Kibris yesterday I think, stating the old KTHY had been fined quite a lot of money ( £850.K ) I think?
If Atlas jet took over KHTH's routes would they be liable for this fine or who is as KTHY are no longer.
I had this information translated for me by a friend.

[karmels]

I also did not add this smillie as I never use them.
Could somebody try to sort this out.
If this happens on any of my posts I will not post again, as this web site seems to have been compromised.

Looking at Libbys and my posts it seem that face is coming when you use the Zero on your key board??

[karmels]

Just posted a reply but it vanished??

looks like Liibby and my post were effected with this face when we used the Zero on our key board.

Karmels, it hasn't been compromised! - the Forum software tries to interpret various text sequences as 'smilies' and it seems that it is currently interpreting two consecutive zeros as a 'smiley' that isn't even in the 'gallery'! - actually, it is! - I just spotted it, it's called 'surprised', appropriately enough

I've PM'd Soner, he'll sort it out in a Jiffy, no doubt..

[Soner]

£850,000 ( £850.000 ) Looks like it's fixed. Sorry.

[Mel7348]

£850,000 ( £850.000 ) Looks like it's fixed. Sorry. ( )

That was quick fix. Still chuckling (I'm pathetic I know ) must have been a shock never mind a surprise when it popped up

[karmels]

Thanks Soner, I wondered what was happening.
