Ajet Cited 'Bad Weather', Yet I Flew THY Same Time!

On December 8, 2025, my Ajet (AnadoluJet) flight VF3187 from Diyarbakır (DIY) to Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), for which I held an Ecofly ticket under PNR 3Y85D4, was first delayed and then cancelled. At 08:27, I was informed via SMS about these changes. In the notification sent to me and in their later response to my complaint (Ref: VF-694328 #S-1972911#), Ajet stated the reason for cancellation as “adverse weather conditions,” “reasons beyond our control,” and “flight safety risk/bad weather.”

At the very time Ajet cancelled this flight supposedly due to weather conditions, I had to purchase a same-day ticket with my own means from Turkish Airlines. I departed from the same airport, Diyarbakır, on flight TK6955 at 13:20 with PNR TJFPGM and arrived in Istanbul without any problems. If there had truly been adverse weather conditions or an airport closure, it would not have been possible for Turkish Airlines to operate this flight without any issue. Because of this, I do not accept Ajet’s attempt to classify this situation as “force majeure” or “beyond their control.”

While other airlines continued their operations, Ajet cancelled the flight and, in my view, tried to hide behind the “weather” excuse to avoid the obligations arising under the SHGM “SHY-YOLCU” regulation. I am a doctor and had to be in Istanbul on Monday for my scheduled patients, so I was compelled to buy a last-minute ticket and travel the same day. As a result, I suffered a clear financial loss and serious inconvenience. I had to pay 140.70 USD out of my own pocket for the new Turkish Airlines ticket because Ajet left me stranded and did not provide a realistic alternative that would get me to Istanbul on time.

I have both the Turkish Airlines boarding pass and the cancellation messages sent by Ajet as proof of what happened and of the fact that flights were being operated from the same airport at the same time. In light of all these facts, I request the immediate payment of the 100 Euro compensation that I am entitled to under the SHGM “SHY-YOLCU” regulation, as well as a full refund of the 140.70 USD I had to pay for the new ticket I purchased the same day. If my justified demands are not met, I will file an official complaint with the SHGM (Turkish Civil Aviation Authority), presenting my “precedent flight” with Turkish Airlines as concrete evidence that the cancellation reason declared by Ajet does not correspond to the actual conditions of that day.
