The Dubai-based airline is already operating daily flights to Istanbul Airport (IST), which will increase its frequency to Istanbul to 12 flights a week. Its network in Turkey also includes Ankara where it operates two weekly flights.

“Istanbul remains a popular destination on our network and we welcome the resumption of our operations to Sabiha Gökçen Airport, an airport that provides another convenient option for those travelling to Istanbul,” said Jeyhun Efendi, senior vice president, commercial operations and e-commerce at flydubai.
