Any new information regarding ONURAIR?
Hi All.
I'm considering Onurair on a contract out of Jeddah.
Does anyone have any information, or can you point me in a direction to pick up some information?
Cheers,
WCB

uk tour ops that use Onur Air are mainly Goldtrail/Sunmar holidays & Holidays4U. i did travel with them about 3 years back and to be honest they got me from point A to point B as requested. nothing fancy, but as far as i see it, you get what you pay for.
if you want a more reliable flight operator, with IFE, UK cabin crew who's first language is english and decent food, book with one of the main UK charter companies, however my guess is that you will pay more, possibly considerably more...............

Goldtrail are the main charterer for Onur i believe. Not sure who Holidays4u use these days.
Onur Air have been up against strong competition for the Goldtrail contract in the past few years, mainly from SAGA and this year from Turkuaz Airlines.
At Cardiff, Onur Airs on time performance has improved massively in recent years, so i assume this is across the board.

Goldtrail still use OHY from NCL, as do Holidays4U, however not as much as in previous seasons, with Turkuaz, Saga and now Sky Airlines being utilised. Companies will tender out their business in charter land regularly and money is huge factor when contracts are awarded. You only need to look at the likes of Thomson Holidays and Thomas Cook Tour Operations, where in recent years their flying has been brought mostly in house, as opposed to using the llikes of Air Europa, Spanair etc.

Flew with them from Cardiff to Dalaman just over a year ago, couldn't fault them, on time both ways and even early coming back.
On board service was basic but crew friendly and did what it said on the tin.
Interior was clean and modern and have no hesitation in using them again.

Communications problem over Germany
An A321, en route from Antalya to DUB was out of communications for FORTY minutes over central Europe yesterday (from Prague to the Netherlands) and communications were only restored when the Dutch AF sent up two F-16s to ask them if they wouldn't mind getting back in touch.
It's hard to believe that any crew can fly over busy European airspace for forty minutes and not notice a lack of communication!
Incident: Onur Air A321 from Prague to Netherlands on Jun 20th 2010, loss of communication for 40 minutes

Im sure there used to be 5 or 6 weekly flights from Cardiff with Onur Air which had Dalaman, Bodrum and Antalya and a range of aircraft from the MD to the A300
This has been reduced hugely with only 1 weekly flight on a sunday evening operating on the A321.
It does look as if SAGA and Turkuaz are the preffered airline of choice at the moment with Godtrail and holidays4u however with Turkuaz weekly going to 2 x weekly at the end of June and SAGA to begin operaitng 2 x weekly to Turkey from beginning of July.

Manchester on a Friday morning is Turkish day with something like 7 or 8 flights

With Turkey still not being part of the Euro, it is fast becoming a much more financially viable option for european holidaymakers....just loom at capacity increases made by Thomas Cook and TUI, in addition to independant operators. OHY, TRK and SHY all operate from NCL, have a pretty much decent ontime record and no serious passenger complaints. Goldtrail, H4U etc will charter who has aircraft available at the best price.
On the subject of OHY, I think they have managed to shake off the damaged image they had a few years back, indeed they needed to if they were to survive?! New aircraft (A330 coming soon?) will help them build a solid name in the charter and scheduled business. Indeed if Turkey continues to attract visitors, a bigger capacity aircraft could be exactly what is required, they always seemed to find work for their all Y config A300's!

Ref the comments on the 8Q flight to Dublin. The airline is as charter airlines are, cheap and gets you there. They do not seem to be too bad now that they operate 321's into DUB. The IAA did do several spot checks on the A300's when they operated into DUB. Now they really were a bag of rust held together with paint and good luck.
But to be honest to many nagging things happen each turnaround to be 100% happy with them.

Onur Air A330s
Does anyone know what routes OHY are planning to use their newly aquired A330s on? Would be nice to see them on some of their busy UK charter routes. The A300s could be filled and they were intresting visitors!
Have had no problems with Onur Air in the past. It's a charter so expect little legroom and no meals. Goldtrail do seem to be chartering Turkuaz Airlines, SAGA and Sky Airlines more this year though. Used Turkuaz Airlines from MAN this year and had no problems, on time and the crew were friendly.

Onur air pilots are not all bad but many of them
some of my friends flow for them for a couple of time and the problem is not all pilots but the problem is the company and some turkish pilots who do not have any understanding of management and do not even write English words in a right way.
But good pilots are leaving the airline and their own managers can fly the rest.
The company is treationg pilots like foodball and they do not care about their suggestions and improvement that pilots bring in.
They think that because they are turks they know everything and understand everything.
But again not all are like this, only some of them included the management
