SunExpress, a joint venture between Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines will fly Scots to the sun-kissed destinations from Glasgow Airport next summer.
Bosses at the airline want to run six services every week from Scotland to Turkey.
There will be FOUR flights departing to Antalya from Glasgow.
There will also be two flights to Dalaman every week.
SunExpress say the flights will start taking off from April 2025.
The airline’s chief of sales Tobias Bracht said: ” “We are thrilled to announce the launch of our exciting new routes from Glasgow direct to Antalya and Dalaman – two of Türkiye’s most popular destinations.
“We are dedicated to offering exceptional value and convenience to our passengers with direct flights and look forward to connecting them with Türkiye.”
SunExpress’ cheapest ticket option, SunEco, allows passengers to board with at least 20kg of checked baggage when going abroad.
They can also upgrade to SunClassic and SunPremium for extra perks – including increased baggage allowance,pre-flight seat selection, inclusive onboard meals and the ability to amend bookings without extra charge.
Airport chiefs said the Turkish destinations are among the most popular among Scots jetting off from Glasgow.
The new holiday route promises something for many different kinds of holidaymakers.
Turkey boasts popular golf courses ideal for anyone wanting to tee off in the sun and plenty of opportunities for cultural,
archaeological and culinary tourism.
Tourists jetting off will also get the chance to enjoy breathtaking views and relax on the country’s golden beaches.
Christopher Tibbett, Aero Director at AGS Airports, which owns Glasgow Airport, said: “We are thrilled to offer a warm welcome to SunExpress, which is also a new airline partner for Glasgow Airport.
“Both Antalya and Dalaman are firm favourites with our customers, so the addition of an extra 1,200 seats per week bound for two of Türkiye’s most popular destinations is fantastic news.
“These six new flights per week will deliver even more choice and greater convenience for Scottish travellers keen to visit this stunning country often referred to as the bridge between Europe and Asia.”
