Furthermore, Antalya is home to the head office of SunExpress.
Peter Glade, SunExpress’ commercial director, said: “I’m sure that passengers in England’s northeastern region will fall in love quickly with our vibrant and diverse home city.
“It offers everything that makes for a successful holiday: crystal-clear water, beautiful beaches, excellent cuisine and unbeatable value for money.”
Chris Ion, aviation development manager at Newcastle airport, added: “Turkey is one of the northeast’s most popular holiday destinations and this summer saw our largest ever choice of flights and holidays to the destination.
“This new service from SunExpress will offer our passengers even more choice at competitive prices to explore Antalya, one of the most popular and vibrant holiday destinations in the Mediterranean.”
SunExpress currently operates flights from Gatwick, Luton, Manchester, Edinburgh and Birmingham airports, expanding its services for summer 2023 to include Newcastle and Bristol airports.
