SunExpress operated its inaugural flight to Antalya on Friday, April 5, followed by its first flight to Dalaman on Saturday, April 6. With these new routes, Scottish travelers will have easy access to Turkey with a total of six direct weekly flights four to Antalya and two to Dalaman.
All flights will be operated with comfortable and modern Boeing 737 aircraft.
