New Flights to Turkey Announced

Britons are to get even more opportunities to visit the Turkish Riviera thanks to the opening of a new flight route from the UK with SunExpress.

Departing from London Stansted, the low-cost airline will start flying on February 8th, with flights scheduled for Mondays and Thursdays between the Essex airport and Antalya, a terminal near the Mediterranean coast.

Flights leave the UK at 10:30 arriving in Antalya at 16:30 local time, with the return leg scheduled for 07:05 landing back in Britain at 09:30.

Two million people already use SunExpress services, an airline that was created by both Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines in 1989 and has a swish fleet of Boeing aircraft.

Antalya, the Turkish Riviera will become much simpler to access for those who have second homes out in this sunny country.
