More direct routes to Turkey: Eurowings and SunExpress expand their partnership
The airlines Eurowings and SunExpress have expanded their partnership, which will lead to increased capacity and better accessibility for travellers heading to Turkey.
From the 2026–2027 winter season, the route network will be significantly strengthened, particularly for flights between the German capital, Berlin, and the popular holiday destination of Antalya.
This expansion of the codeshare agreement means that Eurowings will launch new international routes from Berlin.
A key aspect of this is that a selection of flights to Antalya will now be sold under Eurowings' own flight number.
This simplifies the booking process for many travellers, as they can book directly via Eurowings' platforms, even though the actual flight is operated by SunExpress. For tourists and travellers, especially those using Berlin as a starting point or transit hub, this means easier and more options for reaching Antalya.
Antalya is one of Turkey' s most visited destinations, known for its inviting beaches, luxury resorts, and rich cultural heritage.
An increase in capacity and direct routes from major European cities is always welcome news for the travel industry.
The expansion of the codeshare agreement is a sign that the airlines expect continued high demand for travel to Turkey.
For Nordic travellers, this could indirectly mean the potential for better connections via Germany.
The increased competition and capacity could also help to stabilise or potentially reduce ticket prices in the long term, depending on the market situation.
Travellers should note that the new offers apply from the 2026–2027 winter season and can plan their future holidays accordingly. Source: Turizmguncel
