European leisure carrier Corendon Airlines has begun operating from Birmingham Airport, with a twice-weekly service to Dalaman and three times weekly route to Antalya.
The connections are operated with the airline’s fleet of B737-800. Corendon will extend the Antalya service into winter 2022/23. The extension reflects the popularity of the routes and the demand from Birmingham Airport.
Paul Riches, Commercial representative, Corendon Airlines, said: “We are very excited to launch our service from Birmingham Airport. We plan to increase our Birmingham flights to many other popular holiday destinations in the following seasons. We aim to provide holidaymakers direct and comfortable flights to sunny destinations and we are confident our Birmingham flights will be successful in summer 2022 and beyond.”
Tom Screen, Aviation Director, Birmingham Airport, commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Corendon Airlines to Birmingham and are pleased initial sales numbers are strong. This bodes well as the aviation sector gets back on its feet and the British public take to the skies once again after a two-year COVID-19 layoff. We look forward to developing the partnership with Corendon Airlines further in the coming years.”
