November 26th, Turkish carrier AtlasGlobal announced that they will temporarily suspend all services. The suspension is set to be until December 21st.

Here is the full announcement posted by AtlasGlobal:
Dear Passengers,

During this period, all flight irregularities on the tickets until the 15th of December 2019 will be assessed by our teams.
All procedure regarding involuntary change and/or refund will be announced on 16th of December 2019, on our website. Please contact callcenter@atlasglb.com with your PNR and flight information should you have any further inquiries and questions.
Tickets sales will be suspended until the 16th of December 2019 on all our sales channels including our web-site, mobile apps, etc.
– Atlasjet Havacılık A.Ş.
The airlines’ social media also reflects the suspension:
Honestly I’m glad that governments do not interfere and let them go burst. Italy should finally learn and stop with subsidiaries (tax money).
I have a flight with them on 21 December, so hopefully they can still do the right thing and honour this, especially as there are other legs dependent on me being on this flight
This is such a shame.
I remember my dad taking me and the kids to Turkey to visit our great-grandfather with Atlas. The service was absolutely great! It’s really a shame that Atlas is suspending its service. It’s a shame that they have to suspend their service in order to restructure their debt. I get that airlines have a lot of debt, and have to restructure, but I think it’s a real shame that they have to cancel their flights between now and December 21.
Will you ever do an article on ‘Should you fly private?’ I feel like that would be quite informative, and certainly something I’d like to see your opinion on!
