The Turkey’s low cost scheduled airline that was founded as a joint venture by Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines, is to launch two new routes on Saturday, 28 April from London Stansted to Izmir (Turkey) and Ercan (Northern Cyprus). The new twice-weekly scheduled services will link London to Izmir, which is Turkey’s third largest city, second largest port, and the gateway to the Aegean Coast. Ercan is the international airport that serves the resorts and towns in Northern Cyprus. The new routes are in addition to SunExpress’ existing twice-weekly service launched in February between London Stansted and Antalya on the Turkish Riviera.
“It is always a challenge to launch a new airline and new routes into a market, but we have been delighted by the response in the UK from both the travel trade and our passengers to SunExpress and the Antalya service. Over 80 percent of our customers on the route have been UK residents,” says Michael Buck – Commercial Director of SunExpress. “With summer just around the corner we feel it is the right time to expand our activities in the UK and launch these two additional routes from London Stansted to Izmir and Ercan.”
