SunExpress celebrates inaugural flight to Izmir

Customers last night (Friday) boarded the inaugural SunExpress flight to Izmir, Turkey’s third-largest city, from Birmingham Airport (BHX).

In addition to its new twice-weekly Izmir rotations, from Monday SunExpress increases its service to Antalya to daily and Dalman to three times a week.

Peter Glade, SunExpress Commercial Director, said: “Our guests from Birmingham will enjoy flying to Izmir, the ‘Pearl of the Aegean’, with the best leisure airline in the world. A true treasure trove of culture and gastronomy, combined with great beaches on the Aegean coast make for an unforgettable getaway this summer.

“With our increased capacity from Birmingham to Turkish Riviera, we continue to increase our footprint further in the UK.”

Tom Screen, BHX Aviation Director, added: “The expansion of SunExpress here at BHX comes as a further vote of confidence for us as an airport and for the West Midlands region. Today we celebrate both their inaugural flight to Izmir, as well as increased services on Antalya and Dalaman. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with SunExpress further in the next few months.”

Hello BHX has been wrong several times, I wouldn’t still believe it till someone like Sean actually says it

 

[JENNYJET]

I can almost hear a furious rant eminating from the office of O'Leary, Sun Express and Easyjet announcing expansion plans as Ryanair, dare one say it, stagnates.

The info is direct from the Sun Express website so a pretty decent source 🤷‍♂️

Dalaman restarts March 31st at 3x weekly before increasing from May 19th. Checking a random week in August the second flight operates Tue, Wed, Fri and Sun.

Antalya goes back to daily March 31st then 12x weekly on May 19th with double daily Mon-Fri.

Maybe something for the MAN forum as nobody has actually posted any increases on there yet?

Have I? i'd love to hear of these several times you speak of....

Pretty rich from the person on here who claimed number times that SV would never start from BHX and that Qatar were not returning to BHX for the foreseeable...

But alas we digress!
