SunExpress is a German-Turkish airline founded in 1989 and headquartered in Antalya, Turkey, operating as a joint venture between Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines. The carrier specializes in leisure and charter flights, serving primarily Mediterranean and European vacation destinations with a focus on connecting tourists to Turkish beach resorts and other sun destinations. SunExpress operates a point-to-point network rather than a hub-and-spoke model, with bases in Antalya and other key leisure destinations across Turkey and Europe. As a leisure-focused carrier, the airline offers economy and premium economy cabin classes, and operates under a low-cost model optimized for holiday travelers. The airline carries millions of passengers annually and has become a significant player in the European leisure travel market, competing with other charter and low-cost carriers while maintaining the operational standards of its Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines shareholders.
