Setair is an air taxi company in Istanbul, Turkey. It flies private jets, helicopters and a seaplane for business and leisure travellers. Its full name is Setair Hava Tasimaciligi ve Hizmetleri A.S.

The company was set up in 1990 as the aviation unit of Koc Holding. The company describes Koc Holding as a very large Turkish business group. Setair says its work rests on the group's knowledge of flying and maintenance, and on years of operating experience.

The fleet has two Falcon 8X jets, each with 14 seats. It has two Agusta Westland AW139 helicopters with nine seats each. It also has a Cessna Grand Caravan seaplane with eight seats. The fleet pages also show a Falcon 6X and a Citation Latitude. The company says the Falcon 8X has a very quiet cabin and fast internet.
