Some good news at last reported by SeanM on twitter

EDIT: I see awwdababy has also added it to the schedules page already too



NEW ROUTE

SunExpress - Antalya to Glasgow. Flights start 4 April 2025

XQ564 AYT 0855-1155 GLA (Mon, Tue, Fri & Sat)

XQ565 GLA 1300-1955 AYT (Mon, Tue, Fri & Sat)

More of the same but will take all the crumbs we can get.

Apparently XQ are a good product too - holiday love child of LH and TK

It was dissapointing when Sun Express announced this summer's UK expansion and went into LBA, NCL and EDI, but not GLA - so its good to see us catching up.

I am not convinced that this will be marginal growth ie impacting existing operators or destination switching

Where is all this disposable income coming from?

Well they’ve got about a year to pull it if we can’t support it.

Dalaman also listed at 2xweekly

I’ve heard very good things about the sun express product. Used Corendon last year and thought they were very good aswell but Sunexpress seems the more popular of the two.

Read elsewhere that TUI have reduced capacity on their routes so hopefully TUI will be using XQ capacity

It does show once more that the GLA market is very outbound focused. Speaking anecdotally vast majority of people I know are not interested in city breaks. Just sun sea and sand. This unfortunately is what drives the flights we get and the lack of meaningful connectivity. IMHO of course.

Long overdue and, quite frankly, this should have been in GLA first.

I can’t comment regards the GLA but the services from another Scottish airport have tour operator seats for holidays, namely, but not exclusively, TUI.
