Which businessperson owns Turkey's most luxurious jet?

Mehmet Ali Aydınlar has become a topic of discussion in the business world by choosing this new model, following the Gulfstream G650 he acquired during the pandemic process. 

According to a report by Haberaero, Mehmet Ali Aydınlar, Chairman of the Board of Acıbadem Healthcare Group, has purchased a Gulfstream G700, one of the most luxurious and expensive business jets in the industry. Aydınlar, who previously used a Gulfstream G650 model, took delivery of the new G700 in the final quarter of this year. With a list price of 79 million dollars, this jet stands out with its 19-passenger capacity, spacious cabin area, Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines, and Honeywell cockpit. 

This year, Rahmi Koç also made headlines with the Falcon 6X, which he ordered after being impressed by it. Added to the fleet of Setair, a Koç Holding subsidiary, this jet joins the two Agusta AW139 helicopters, a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, and two Falcon 8Xs already in the fleet. It was stated that with the arrival of the Falcon 6X, one of the Falcon 8Xs in the fleet would be disposed of.

Limak Holding boss Nihat Özdemir is also among those who placed an order for the Falcon 6X. It is known that Özdemir, who currently uses a Falcon 7X, has been pressuring Alişan Soylu, the representative of the French manufacturer Dassault Falcon, regarding delays in the delivery of his new jet. Supply chain disruptions following COVID-19 have changed the plans of many businesspeople, not just Özdemir.
