About The Airline

It’s all hidden in our name. Founded as a joint venture between Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines in 1989, we are a true sun specialist and offer numerous direct connections between Europe and Turkey.  Besides flying our guests to many idyllic holiday destinations in Turkey, we reconnect them with their families and loved ones with our direct flights from Europe to many Anatolian cities.

Without a doubt, we owe our success to our valuable passengers who prefer to fly with us and also our workforce of more than 4,000 employees who dedicate themselves to serve our customers with the highest quality and who are experts in their field. Together, we are the SunExpress family and we do our very best to ensure remaining as high-flyers for another thirty years and offer high quality services to our guests.

Our headquarters is located in sunny Antalya, which is known as the touristic capital of Turkey. Another key hub is Izmir on Turkey’s Aegean coast. Further focus cities are the capital of Türkiye, Ankara, as well as Dalaman. The company’s second headquarter is located in Gateway Gardens in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
