Bright Sun

Sun Express (airline code: XQ) is a low-fare Turkish-German joint-venture airline that has been flying lots of vacationers from Austria, Germany, Holland and Switzerland to Antalya, Bodrum, Dalaman and Izmir's Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) in Turkey for over 20 years.

Sun Express's European destinations include:

In summer, Sun Express also runs inexpensive domestic Turkish flights from its Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport hub to Adana, Antalya, Bodrum, Bursa, Diyarbakır, Erzincan, Erzurum, Kars, Kayseri (for Cappadocia), Konya, Malatya, Sivas, Trabzon and Van.

The Kayseri-Izmir flights, important for those wanting to fly non-stop between Cappadocia and Izmir (for Ephesus), operate on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday in both directions. Pegasus Airlines also operates nonstop flights on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday between Kayseri and Izmir. More...

In the past, Sun Express has operated some nonstop Kayseri-Antalya flights in summer, but it's unclear whether this will continue.
