New flights make Turkey even more accessible

Pegasus Airlines, Turkey’s low cost carrier, have expanded their service from the UK to Turkey with an additional 17 flights to be in operation in 2010. The extra flights include routes from London to Bodrum and Dalaman; Birmingham to Antalya and Bodrum and Manchester to Antalya and Dalaman.

In line with recent reports of growing tourism levels in 2009, Pegasus Airlines has seen its passenger levels from the UK more than double from 2008 so far this year. Pegasus Airlines chairman Ali Sabanci said:

“In the first nine months of 2009 alone, Pegasus Airlines grew by an impressive 46% on international routes and 41% on domestic routes”.

Commenting on the airline’s expanded UK service Daniel Dias of Turkish property developer Signature International explained it wasn’t unexpected:

“Turkey has exploded as a destination of choice over recent years and it makes good commercial sense for the airlines to capitalize on the boom”

Dias added that he expected Easyjet to follow suit by extending their route from Gatwick to a year-round service.

This is great news for Turkish property owners who can expect increased accessibility to the country to add value to their property. The expanded service to coastal areas such as Bodrum will only add to the region’s growing popularity amongst those seeking the ideal holiday home.
