SunExpress's 35-year tenure at Düsseldorf Airport

In the early days of May 1990, SunExpress took to the skies, connecting Düsseldorf Airport and Antalya. This marked the beginning of a long and fruitful partnership between the airline and the German airport.

SunExpress, a joint venture between Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines, has grown to become the number one choice for flights to Turkey. With over 1.4 million passengers traveling to and from Düsseldorf on SunExpress flights annually, the airline's presence in the region is undeniable.

Düsseldorf was one of the first destinations in SunExpress's route network, and today, it is considered indispensable. The airline offers more Turkish destinations than any other European airline, with 20 different destinations available. SunExpress's extensive Turkey portfolio and reliable operations have made it a strong and reliable partner for Düsseldorf Airport.

The Düsseldorf to Antalya route caters to both seasonal tourist traffic and the large Turkish community in North Rhine-Westphalia year-round. SunExpress operates up to seven daily flights on this route, making it the clear market leader.

The airline looks forward to many more years of successful cooperation with Düsseldorf Airport.

In conclusion, SunExpress's partnership with Düsseldorf Airport has been a resounding success. As the airline continues to grow and expand, it remains committed to providing reliable and affordable flights to Turkey for passengers in North Rhine-Westphalia and beyond.
