The joint venture between Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa is starting the 2022 summer season with increased capacity in response to rising demand.

Sun Express will add eight aircraft to the fleet, of which six A320 jets will be damp leased from Avion Express for the summer of 2022, while two more Boeing 737-800s will be added to the fleet on operational leases for a term of six to seven years . Taking into account the latest nine Boeing deliveries to Sun Express, 17 aircraft have been flown in the past six months.

“We see increasing booking numbers and a strong increase in demand in our European core markets. The additional leasing capacity will support our strong market position in Europe,” says airline CEO Max Kownatzki. “We are looking forward to a strong summer of 2022 with the largest route network expansion in the history of our company. With our fleet of 67 aircraft, we will achieve our goal of carrying 10 million passengers this year.”

Sun Express recently announced the launch of 25 new routes and 16.250 additional frequencies for the summer season. In 2022, the airline will offer non-stop flights on more than 175 routes from Turkey to 60 destinations in 30 countries.
