Corendon Airlines
A Turkish leisure carrier operating scheduled and charter flights between holiday destinations in Turkey and major European cities, with Antalya at the centre of its network.
About Corendon Airlines
Corendon Airlines is a Turkish leisure airline founded in 2004 and launched operations in 2005. It is part of the Corendon Tourism Group, whose activities also include tour operations and hospitality. The carrier should not be confused with its separately licensed European sister airlines, Corendon Dutch Airlines and Malta-based Corendon Airlines Europe.
Antalya Airport is Corendon Airlines’ primary hub and the focal point of its strongly seasonal network. The airline mainly carries holidaymakers between Turkish resorts and cities across Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland and other European markets. Some routes operate only during peak travel periods, while selected services continue across a broader part of the year.
The fleet is centred on Boeing 737 narrow-body aircraft, including 737-800 and 737 MAX 8 models suited to short- and medium-haul flying. Cabins generally use a single-class, high-density economy layout rather than separate business and economy sections. Food, drinks, checked baggage and preferred seating may cost extra, depending on the fare or holiday package purchased.
Corendon Airlines is not a member of Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld, so travellers should not expect alliance-wide earning, lounge access or through-journey benefits. The airline does not operate a widely established conventional frequent-flyer programme. Passengers booking through a tour operator should check whether benefits or baggage are supplied by the package provider instead.
The airline’s principal strength is its range of direct leisure links, which can remove the need to connect through a major network hub when travelling to Turkish resorts. The trade-off is that schedules can be seasonal and ancillary inclusions vary by fare and sales channel. Travellers should verify baggage, check-in and change conditions for their specific booking rather than assuming full-service benefits are included.
Good to know
Flying with Corendon Airlines — what to expect
Check Fare Inclusions
Checked baggage, seat selection and onboard refreshments may not be included in the lowest fare. Package-holiday bookings can have different allowances from flight-only tickets.
Seasonal Flight Schedules
Many routes are designed around summer and school-holiday demand. Confirm operating dates carefully, especially when arranging separate accommodation or onward transport.
Single Economy Cabin
Flights generally use a single economy-class cabin with a leisure-oriented, high-density layout. Extra-legroom or preferred seats may be available for an additional charge.
Booking Channel Matters
If a tour operator issued the booking, changes and some service requests may need to be handled through that company. Keep both the airline reference and the tour operator’s confirmation details.
Allow Hub Time
Antalya can be particularly busy during the summer season. Arrive with enough time for bag drop, security and any document checks required for an international flight.

Never again
1st time flying with Corendon and the last we upgraded and paid Premium that advertises on the web site as all inclusive please do not be fooled As we had paid premium I rang Customer services to ask if we could upgrade the seats only to be argued yes argued… See more with that the seats we choose(we didn’t they were allocated) was the ones we had to have she actually said to me are you not understanding me) she obviously didn’t understand Premium service eventually she said fill a form in online ..well that’s an experience trying to find it. Form filled in email back saying you can now book which ever seats you like even front tried to book front but that was extra money again. Arrived at the Manchester Airport asked the staff about priority boarding and premium she looked at us and said Corendon DO NOT do premium so I said what have we paid extra for she said you might get better seats. On the airline we asked the Chief Cabin Crew about Premium only to be told again that Corendon DO NOT do premium anyway he than brought us some food, I said we preordered food he said well this is what you have got Ravioli One Person doesn’t like one person diet restrictions 2 people took it but it was luke warm and not nice supposed to be mushroom but was cheese, so we asked for a drink which we was told you have to pay for drinks but we are premium all inclusive we was told yes does not include drinks 2.5€ for a very small bottle of water. Homeward bound We was served a omelette covered in cheese and swimming in water and again Luke warm. Yes I have complained to Corendon but as it is done via the form online you get the same response read the small print ..drinks not included so what did we pay extra £90 each for they are very quick at taking the extra money but no Premium service supplied. In one response from the complaint they have asked for a screen shot of the meals booked as they have no record, who would screen shot that as we trusted Corendon…..Please avoid at all costs

Not as bad
Reading reviews I was afraid it is the worst airline company in the world. My experience wasn't bad at all. I started worrying when I couldn't check-in online using both website and the app despite receiving SMS to do so. Check-in at counter was easy and free,… See more we were seated next to kids, no issues here. Leg space was very standard. Departure was on time, luggage was neither lost not damaged.

Mr Silan
My flight was at 1500 on 27/05/2023, everything was fine , booking , checking on line, at the airport they refused to let us check in for the reason that there is over booking and we have to wait till last passenger then they decide, they been very aggressive,… See more the airlines office in London and they refused, they put bunch of uneducated women they have no respect to the age , myself 76 years old and my wife 70 years old, I decided to take them to the court. I never recommend this air line to any human.

FAQ
Corendon Airlines — frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the details travellers usually check first, from codes and locations to the practical basics that help with planning.
8 common questions
- The longest route can change with Corendon Airlines’ seasonal programme and charter commitments. Longer services generally connect Turkey with northern or western European leisure markets, so check the current timetable for the travel season.
- Corendon Airlines’ primary hub is Antalya Airport in Turkey. The airline also operates services from other Turkish airports, including Izmir and Kayseri, depending on the season.
- The total changes by season because Corendon Airlines operates a leisure-focused schedule with routes added or suspended according to demand. Consult the airline’s current timetable for the applicable travel dates.
- Corendon Airlines primarily links Turkish holiday destinations with cities across Europe. Its network is especially strong in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria and Switzerland, with many services operating seasonally.
- Fares are often lower outside summer, school holidays and other peak leisure periods. Comparing midweek departures and booking before demand rises can help, but prices vary by route and remaining capacity.
- Antalya is the airline’s main departure point. Major European leisure gateways such as Düsseldorf, Cologne/Bonn and Hanover also commonly feature in its schedule, although frequencies vary seasonally.
- Originfacts compares live fares from hundreds of airlines and travel agencies via its partner Travelpayouts. Originfacts never adds a fee.
- Cabin-baggage entitlements depend on the fare, booking channel and applicable ticket conditions. Check the allowance shown on the reservation before travel, as size, weight and included personal items can be restricted.
