Founded in 1989 as a joint venture between Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines, SunExpress is a leisure carrier connecting Türkiye with key destinations across Europe. Via major European gateways, US travelers benefit from convenient access to Türkiye and a wide range of onward leisure destinations.

Under this new agreement, AirlinePros International will serve as SunExpress’s ARC Representative in the United States, strengthening the airline’s presence among US travel advisors. SunExpress is available through Sabre, Amadeus, and Travelport for seamless bookings under IATA code XQ.

“Türkiye offers year-round appeal with a rich mix of experiences, with the Turkish Riviera at its heart and the vibrant Antalya as a key gateway. Passengers travelling with SunExpress explore turquoise coasts, captivating history and culture, rich local cuisine, and a wide range of sports and outdoor activities, alongside world-class resorts and accommodation options that cater to every type of traveller. Beyond ‘summer sun and beach’ holidays, Türkiye also stands out for its cultural, archaeological, culinary, and sports tourism,” said Judith Kolakowski, Senior Vice-President, AirlinePros International. “SunExpress complements this strong destination offering with its leisure focus, regional connectivity, value, and flexibility, and we are proud to support its growth in the US while expanding awareness among travel advisors.”
