The Turkish airline Freebird is relying heavily on tourist traffic between the United Kingdom and Turkey in the current 2022 summer flight schedule period. As of May 23, 2022, the carrier will increase existing routes such as Manchester-Antalya to four rotations per week.

Chief Commercial Officer Derya Kaya Bozay explained, among other things, that Gatwick-Antalya will be offered on Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday traffic days this year. On May 24, 2022, non-stop flights will begin between the second busiest airport in the UK capital and Bodrum. These should be served on Tuesdays and Fridays.

In total, Freebird Airlines will market around 2022 seats between the two states in the summer of 65.000. The UK flights are operated by the Turkish carrier. The Maltese offshoot is mainly used on connections that require an EU AOC.
