We are SunExpress. Uniting people, countries, and cultures for more than 35 years. Founded as a joint venture between Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines in 1989, we are a true sun specialist offering numerous direct connections between Europe and Türkiye (Turkey). Besides flying our guests to many idyllic holiday destinations in Türkiye, we reconnect them with their families and loved ones with our direct flights from Europe to many Anatolian cities. Our success story relies on our valued passengers who choose to fly with us as well as more than 4,800 dedicated employees, who serve our customers to the highest standards. We do our very best to remain high-flyers for another 35 years and continue to offer our guests high-quality services. Our two headquarters are in sunny Antalya, widely known as Türkiye's tourist capital, and in the very heart of Europe, in Frankfurt/Main. Another key hub is Izmir on Türkiye’s Aegean coast, with additional bases in Dalaman and Ankara.
