SunExpress is a joint venture between Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines and the service will operate from May 16, 2026, through to October 24, 2026, with flights every Tuesday and Saturday. The new service to Antalya will provide even more choice for holidaymakers across Ireland seeking sun, sea, and culture as the İzmir route was announced last week. Seats to both destinations are now on sale on as well as via renowned tour operators and travel agencies. Head of Aviation Business Development & Communications at Cork Airport, Tara Finn said: 'Having just celebrated the first SunExpress service to Izmir last weekend, it's fantastic to be able to announce yet another direct service to Türkiye for next summer – this time to Antalya. 'SunExpress is our ninth and newest airline and is a valued partner as we continue to grow our route network, offering more choice for our loyal and valued customers from across the South of Ireland,' she said. Antalya, located on Türkiye's southern coast, is one of the country's most popular holiday destinations. Known as the gateway to the Turquoise Coast, Antalya offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy golden sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a rich tapestry of history, including the ancient cities of Perge and Aspendos. Tobias Bracht, Head of Sales at Sun Express said: 'We're delighted to announce this new route to Antalya so soon after launching flights to Izmir. 'This expansion offers travellers from Southern Ireland greater opportunities to discover the beauty and culture of Türkiye. 'We remain committed to providing exceptional travel experiences, and our new Antalya route marks another important step in delivering the choice, value and convenience of SunExpress' services to Irish passengers,' Mr Bracht said.
