TK CIP Terminal and Domestic Lounge at SAW Closing Permanently
It's an end of an era where the TK Domestic Lounge in SAW is now closing for good, on January 1, 2024.
While this only affects passengers operated by flights on AnadoluJet since there are no TK flights out of SAW, it might be an indicator that the new subsidiary AJet might not honor any TK Elite / Elite Plus benefits when the transition happens.

This is also the end of Business Class check-in for Elite / Elite Plus on AnadoluJet flights since starting from COVID, they have got rid of the priority check-in desks at the regular departures hall as well.
I also doubt that TK/AnadoluJet would pay for the airport operated fast track lane instead ( they did pre-COVID for those using the regular terminal ).
