Corendon Airlines has restructured the division of responsibilities between operational management and group-level strategic management. As part of this, Atılay Batu, who served as the company's Chief Operating Officer (COO), has been appointed as Corendon Airlines' Accountable Manager.

With the new structure, the management of daily operations and the long-term strategic management of the group companies are being more clearly separated. Yıldıray Karaer will continue his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors for Corendon Airlines Group Companies.

Operational Responsibility with Atılay Batu

In his new role, Atılay Batu will be ultimately responsible for the safe, effective, and efficient execution of Corendon Airlines' operational activities and for the company's compliance with relevant regulations and operational requirements.

In the new organizational structure, the Training, Ground Operations, Flight Operations, and Technical departments will report directly to Batu.

The Safety Management System, Aviation Security, Quality, and SOME departments will continue their independent monitoring, auditing, and oversight duties.

Yıldıray Karaer to Focus on Strategic Management

Yıldıray Karaer, who handed over the Accountable Manager role to Atılay Batu, will continue in his position as Chairman of the Board of Directors for Corendon Airlines Group Companies.

In the new period, Karaer will focus more on the strategic management of the airlines within the group, strengthening coordination among companies, and the sustainable development of the group.

Operations and Group Management More Clearly Separated

With this change in roles, Corendon Airlines aims to conduct operational management and group-level strategic decision-making processes within a more effective organizational structure.

The new structure will, on one hand, consolidate the responsibility for airline operations under Atılay Batu's leadership, while on the other hand, it will allow Yıldıray Karaer to focus on the overall strategy of the group companies and coordination among the airlines.
