SunExpress and Austrian Airlines Partner for Codeshare on Key Routes

SunExpress, a joint venture between Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa, has strengthened its connectivity with Austria by establishing a codeshare agreement with Austrian Airlines. This partnership allows both airlines to expand their route networks and offer passengers greater flexibility and seamless travel options between Austria and key destinations in Turkey. Under the new agreement, Austrian Airlines passengers will have access to SunExpress flights from Vienna to Turkish cities Antalya, Izmir, and Ankara. Similarly, SunExpress customers can enjoy smooth connections and onward flight options via Vienna on Austrian Airlines.

This collaboration highlights SunExpress’s commitment to expanding travel options in response to high demand for Turkey’s popular Mediterranean destinations. Antalya, known for its vibrant tourism sector, and Izmir and Ankara, both significant cultural and commercial hubs, are key destinations for Austrian travelers seeking a blend of leisure and business options. By leveraging this codeshare, Austrian Airlines can enhance its Turkey offerings while allowing SunExpress to bolster its presence in the Austrian market.

The codeshare partnership also reflects a broader industry trend where airlines are working together to optimize routes, reduce travel time, and improve the passenger experience. SunExpress has positioned itself as a leading carrier for direct Turkey-Europe connections, and this latest codeshare arrangement with Austrian Airlines is expected to attract travelers looking for efficient routes and easy transit options through Vienna.
