Turkish carrier SunExpress has announced a new route from Dublin to Dalaman, to come on stream next year.
The route will form part of the joint Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines-owned airline’s summer 2026 route programme.
The airline is offering passengers from the Irish capital the opportunity to fly direct from Dublin Airport to Dalaman twice weekly, with all flights operated by Boeing 737 aircraft.
SunExpress gives travellers an affordable and convenient way to explore one of Türkiye’s most breathtaking regions, renowned for its endless sandy beaches, outstanding value hotels and self-catering stays, and a vibrant dining and nightlife scene.
The new route will build on SunExpress’ existing presence at Dublin Airport, where it currently operates 10 weekly flights in total to Antalya and Izmir.
Passengers travelling with SunExpress from Dublin can look forward to discovering the natural beauty and cultural charm of Dalaman. This stunning region of Türkiye is known for its turquoise coastline, lush pine forests, and access to iconic sites such as the ancient city of Kaunos and the famous mud baths of Dalyan.
Gary McLean, Managing Director, Dublin Airport: “This is an exciting new route from SunExpress, connecting Dublin directly with the stunning region of Dalaman. This addition to our summer 2026 schedule reflects the strong and growing demand for travel between Ireland and Türkiye.
“SunExpress continues to be a valued partner at Dublin Airport, and we look forward to supporting their continued growth and success.”
SunExpress offers a variety of fare options designed to meet the different needs of passengers. These options include choices for baggage allowance, seat reservations, check-in methods, and flexible booking. These fares are bundled so customers can pick the combination that suits them best, giving them more choice and the chance to save money. This new fare structure aims to make travel easier and more comfortable for everyone.
In addition to ‘summer sun and beach’ travel, SunExpress caters for several other types of travel including cultural, archaeological, and culinary tourism, and sports travel.
