Sovereign popularity continues to grow in Turkey

Monday, 13 May 2013

Boydak Air reports that its Citation XLS+ has been replaced on the fleet by a 2013 model Citation Sovereign, marking the first time the Turkish operator has flown this type.

The Sovereign is popular in Turkey, with up to nine different current operators, and Boydak's Captain Hakan Kantas believes this is because of its range and operating cost capabilities.

Boydak has also recently taken on a Falcon 2000, flying under its AOC on behalf of another company.
