[ad_1]

The Turkish holiday airline is expanding despite Corona: next summer Corendon Airlines will open new bases in Düsseldorf and Basel and double the offer.

The aviation industry is singing the blues right now. After many flights were booked quite well in the summer thanks to pent-up demand for vacations, booking numbers are now dropping again.

Still, Mine Aslan is confident. Next year, the demand for holiday flights in European countries will increase, especially thanks to the measures taken to combat the new corona virus. That is why we will continue to invest and expand our offer ”, says the commercial director of Corendon Airlines.

Two Boeing 737s for Düsseldorf

And so the Turkish airline will open a new base in Düsseldorf on May 1, 2021. There are two Boeing 737s parked there. Corendon will head to destinations in Egypt, Greece, Israel, Italy, Spain and Turkey from there.

In Germany, the airline already operates bases in Hannover, Cologne, Münster and Nuremberg. It also flies to Berlin, Bremen, Dresden, Erfurt, Frankfurt, Friedrichshafen, Karlsruhe / Baden-Baden, Leipzig, Munich, Münster / Osnabrück, Paderborn / Lippstadt, Rostock, Saarbrücken, Stuttgart and Weeze. With its expansion course, Corendon increasingly inherits Sun Express, which has discontinued all non-Turkish routes from Germany.

More than doubling the offer

Corendon will also expand in Switzerland next year. So far she has served from Basel Antalya, Bodrum, Hurghada, Izmir and Kayseri. In the summer of 2021, Euro Airport will also have its own base with a plane. Then there are the flights to Egypt and Greece and other Turkish destinations.

The airline offers a total of five million seats for the upcoming summer season from Germany, Switzerland and Austria (Graz, Linz and Vienna). In 2019 there were still two million left. Corendon Airlines was founded in 2004 as a subsidiary of the Turkish-Belgian-Dutch tourism company Corendon. The fleet now consists of 21 Boeing 737s.
