Corendon Airlines now connects Cologne/Bonn Airport directly with Bodrum on the Turkish Aegean coast. The first flight took off at noon on Monday, June 17th. In future, the route will be served every Monday and Friday.
Thilo Schmid, CEO of Cologne/Bonn Airport GmbH, emphasised the importance of the new connection: "Turkey is a very popular destination for many of our passengers for holidays in the sun and on the beach, especially in the summer months. With the flights to Bodrum, Corendon Airlines is now creating another attractive connection from Cologne/Bonn to a popular seaside resort."
Bodrum is known for its historical sites, including the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and a medieval castle that now houses a museum of underwater archaeology. In addition to culture and history, Bodrum offers numerous beaches, turquoise seas and a lively nightlife with many restaurants, cafes and bars.
The flights depart from Cologne/Bonn on Mondays at 12:10 p.m. and Fridays at 14:55 p.m. and reach Bodrum after a flight time of around three hours. The return flight from Bodrum to Cologne/Bonn also takes place on Mondays and Fridays. A Boeing 737-800 is used.
