    SunExpress launches İzmir-Athens flights
    SunExpress, a joint venture of Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa, will begin the first non-stop flight route between the Turkish port city of İzmir and Greek capital, Athens, by Aug. 15.

    “Cultural, tourist and commercial relations between Turkey and Greece are being fed from a well-established history of many years. We are extremely excited to mark a milestone and become the first airline to connect the two shores of the Aegean with our non-stop flights after nearly two decades,” said Paul Schwaiger, managing director of SunExpress.

    Speaking at the inaugural flight operated to Athens on Tuesday, he said: “We are thankful to the Athens Airport’s chief executive and his team for their warm welcome. With their great support, we aim to foster existing business and tourism potential between the two cities by offering our 20 years of experience and market expertise.”

    Athens International Airport CEO Yiannis Paraschis said: “We are delighted to welcome the connection of our airport to İzmir, one of the most dynamic markets for Athens. The introduction of the route is a result of a successful policy followed by our airport.”

    SunExpress’ flights from İzmir to Athens on Tuesdays and Saturdays will depart at 12:15 p.m. and arrive at 1:15 p.m. From Athens to İzmir, SunExpress will depart at 2 p.m. and land at 2:50 p.m. The one-way ticket fares for the İzmir-Athens-İzmir route will start from 49 euros.

    Founded in 1989, SunExpress currently operates scheduled flights from its three bases, İzmir, Antalya and İstanbul Sabiha Gökçen. SunExpress will have a fleet of 25 Boeing 737-800s and 4,725 seat capacity by the end of 2010.
