Turkiye’s newest airline, Southwind Airlines, is launching flights from Antalya, Turkiye to 10 UK airports for Summer 2024 as it looks to expand its route map.
Southwind Airline launched in 2022 to continue to connect Russian tourists with Turkiye’s Mediterranean coast and later that year it added flights to Germany marking its first non-Russia-Turkiye operation.
It now has its sights firmly set on the UK flights set to commence to Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool, London Stansted, Manchester and Newcastle from March 2024.
Its modern fleet comprises Airbus A321/321neos, Airbus A330, Boeing 737 Max 8 and Boeing 777s.
