LEAV
LEAV, legally Atlasglobal, was a privately owned Turkish scheduled airline serving domestic and international routes from Istanbul, with an all-Airbus A320-family operation.
About LEAV
LEAV is identified here by the legal name Atlasglobal, a privately owned Turkish airline founded in 2001 as Atlasjet. It began flying in 2001 and adopted the Atlasglobal brand in 2015 as its network expanded beyond Turkey. The carrier operated scheduled passenger services until suspending operations and filing for bankruptcy in 2020, so it is no longer an active booking option.
Istanbul was the airline’s primary hub and the largest departure point in its network. Its 26 routes covered 11 destinations across 5 countries, combining Turkish leisure and business markets with services to Northern Cyprus, the United Kingdom, Iraq and Iran. Ercan, Antalya, Izmir and London were also important departure airports, while Bodrum, Dalaman, Erbil, Mersin, Sulaimaniyah and Tehran featured in the wider network.
The aircraft type associated with these services was the Airbus Industrie A320, a narrow-body jet suited to domestic and short- to medium-haul international flying. Atlasglobal was known for offering more than a basic low-cost product, with cabin arrangements that could include an upgraded or business-class experience alongside its main economy-oriented service. Exact seating and onboard provisions varied by aircraft and route.
Atlasglobal did not belong to Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld. It operated its own loyalty programme, Atlasmiles, through which eligible passengers could earn and redeem miles under the programme’s former rules. Because the airline has ceased operating, memberships, balances and historic status benefits should not be assumed to retain value, and no active programme enrolment is available.
A notable strength was the network’s mix of major Turkish gateways, holiday destinations and regional international cities, allowing useful connections through Istanbul. The central challenge is decisive for present-day travellers: Atlasglobal is defunct, its former website is preserved only through archived pages, and its historical schedules, baggage policies and service descriptions should not be treated as current travel information.
Good to know
Flying with LEAV — what to expect
Airline No Longer Operating
Atlasglobal suspended flying and entered bankruptcy in 2020. Any listings using the LEAV or Atlasglobal details should be treated as historical rather than bookable services.
Istanbul Connections
Istanbul was the principal hub, with Ercan, Antalya, Izmir and London also among the busiest departure points. Historical itineraries commonly relied on an Istanbul connection.
Airbus A320 Fleet
The recorded services used Airbus A320 aircraft suited to domestic and regional international routes. Cabin layout and seat features could vary between individual aircraft.
Check Historical Baggage Rules
Former baggage allowances depended on fare, cabin and route. Archived limits should not be applied to flights sold by another airline, even when it serves the same route.
Atlasmiles Is Inactive
Atlasmiles was the airline’s frequent-flyer programme, but Atlasglobal’s closure means travellers should not expect to earn, redeem or recover miles through an active scheme.
Archived Website Only
The listed website is an archived version of the former Atlasjet site. It should be used for historical reference only, not reservations, payments or current travel advice.
