Russian airline Red Wings is set to launch direct flights from Elista Airport in Russia to Antalya, starting on 4 June 2025. The flights will operate every Wednesday and are scheduled to continue until 29 October 2025.
The new route aims to both increase the number of foreign tourists visiting Antalya, Turkey’s tourism capital, and provide a direct travel option from Elista. Coinciding with the summer season, these flights offer an attractive alternative especially for Russian tourists.
Red Wings officials have stated that strong demand is expected for the Antalya flights throughout the summer period, and the tourism sector has responded positively to this development.
