There is a joyful atmosphere of celebration at Corendon Airlines! 20 years ago on April 12, 2005, Corendon Airlines carried its first flight and transported its passengers to a holiday destination. The first flight was from Eindhoven Airport in the Netherlands to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport. This flight also made history as the first passenger plane to land at the newly opened airport on the Anatolian Side of Istanbul. Since then, Corendon Airlines has grown rapidly and has become an airline company carrying 10 million passengers per year.

Corendon Airlines, which will participate in the ITB Berlin Fair, the most important meeting point of the world tourism sector, will celebrate its 20th anniversary in the organization where the heart of tourism beats. Corendon, which will take part in the fair to be held on March 4-6, 2025, will share the excitement of its 20th year and will tell its guests about its innovations in the tourism sector and its flight network. Corendon Airlines, which has a wide participation in the ITB Berlin Fair this year as well as every year, organized a special flight from Antalya to Berlin for its guests.

“Leaving behind 20 years of flight operations is a source of great pride for us”

Corendon Airlines Chairman Yıldıray Karaer, who made an assessment of the stage the airline company has reached, said, “Leaving behind 20 years of flight operations is a great source of pride for us. In this journey that we started in 2005 with only two planes, we have grown steadily and have become one of the leading holiday airlines in Europe today.”

Karaer continued his words as follows: “We are very happy to celebrate this important milestone. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our more than 2.000 team members, passengers and business partners who contributed to this success.”

Corendon Airlines carries its passengers to the most popular holiday destinations in the Mediterranean with flights from more than 50 airports worldwide. Its fleet consists of 31 Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737-800 MAX aircraft.

Strong Position in the German and UK Markets

Corendon Airlines planes have taken off from German airports around 55.000 times

Corendon Airlines has a strong presence in the German-speaking region and has based its flight programme on connections to Antalya since the early years. Offering regular flights from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Corendon Airlines operated its first Germany-Antalya flight (Paderborn-Antalya) on 10 April 2006. Since then, Corendon Airlines aircraft have taken off from German airports around 55.000 times.

Thanks to high demand and successful cooperation with travel agencies, Corendon Airlines has established its “base point” in Germany. The first point was opened at Cologne Bonn Airport on May 1, 2019. Nuremberg was added to the network at the end of October of the same year. Hanover and Düsseldorf became Corendon Airlines’ other points in Germany in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Flights from these airports carry passengers to popular holiday destinations such as Turkey, Greece, Egypt, Spain and Morocco.

Corendon Airlines has established a wide flight network across Europe over the last 20 years and has also established a strong position in the UK market. Today, it has become one of the favourite airlines for British holidaymakers, offering direct flights from cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow to Antalya and Heraklion. Thanks to its close partnerships with leading tour operators and travel agencies in the UK, it offers comfortable and reliable travel options to thousands of passengers.

Apart from Germany and the United Kingdom, Corendon Airlines also operates in the Belgian, Dutch and Polish markets. The airline has a fleet of 31 aircraft registered in Malta, Turkey and the Netherlands. Corendon Airlines is headquartered in Antalya.

Strong collaborations with sports

Contributing to the development of sports and providing resources are among the main elements that make up Corendon Airlines’ brand values. Corendon Airlines has established strong partnerships with the sports world since the day it started its operations and is also bringing new facilities to the sector with investments that support sports tourism.

Turkish Flood to Dubai for Eid

With both the Ramadan holiday and the school break coinciding with the same time, Turkish investors have once again turned to Dubai. While Turks are lining up to buy homes in Dubai, Turkish real estate agents operating in Dubai expect interest to increase even more.

The coincidence of the Ramadan holiday and school holidays has caused Turkish investors to turn to Dubai again. Dubai, which has increased its appeal in terms of real estate investments in recent years, is attracting great interest from Turkish investors in particular. While the tax advantages, high rental income and luxury living opportunities in the city make Dubai stand out in terms of investment, there is great activity in housing purchases during this period.

Turkish real estate agents operating in Dubai state that demand for housing has increased in the region with the holiday. It is stated that interest in projects that provide residence permits has increased, and investors are heading to Dubai to evaluate both holiday and business opportunities. Regular flights by airlines such as Turkish Airlines and Emirates also make the city more accessible to Turkish investors.

Turkish Influx to Dubai

While this rise in the real estate sector is expected to continue in the coming period, the interest of Turkish investors in the housing market in Dubai is increasing day by day.

Dubai has become one of the favorite addresses of Turkish investors in recent years. The Turkish contracting sector has an important position worldwide and is the second country to undertake the most overseas projects after China. Turkish companies have taken part in more than 13.5 projects worth $150 billion in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to date, and this figure is expected to increase in the coming years.

Özden Çimen, Founder and CEO of Parcel Estates He made comprehensive assessments on the opportunities offered by Dubai and the increasing interest of Turkish investors. Çimen said, “Dubai is not only an investment center for Turkish investors; it is a safe haven in search of economic stability and quality of life,” and explained the opportunities of this unique market and the solutions they offer to investors.

$3 Billion Purchase from Turks in Dubai

Çimen, who said that Turkish investors have made a total of $2024 billion worth of housing purchases from Dubai as of 3, said, “This corresponds to approximately 10 thousand housing purchases. This figure is expected to reach $2025 billion in 5. Dubai continues to be an attractive market, especially for Turkish investors, due to its high rental income and low tax rates. Buyers who act with a long-term investment perspective will continue to evaluate opportunities in Dubai.”

Turkish investments, which were 2022 million dollars in 608, exceeded 2024 billion dollars in 3, placing our country among the top 10 countries investing the most in the Dubai real estate market. Behind this rapid rise lies Dubai's tax-free real estate market, residence advantages such as golden visa, and visionary projects for the future.

“Dubai is a Safe Haven for Turkish Investors”

Çimen, who attributed this increase in interest from Turkish investors to both Dubai’s advantageous structure and the economic conditions in Türkiye, said: “Dubai’s lack of income tax, the ease of residence permit programs such as Golden Visa and its position among the world’s top three tourism destinations are constantly increasing the interest of Turkish investors. Dubai’s infrastructure investments in line with its 2040 Vision, the increase in employment rates and high housing demand also support the dynamics of the market.”

Özden Çimen stated that the legal difficulties and pricing problems in the real estate market in Türkiye also lead Turkish investors to seek a regulated market like Dubai: “The economic fluctuations in Türkiye, property owners’ inability to reach target prices and difficulties in rental processes are attracting our investors to Dubai, which is a more stable market.”

Mid-term Break Increases Interest of Turkish Investors

The fact that 100 thousand Turks visited Dubai during the mid-term holidays was also reflected in housing sales. Çimen stated that Parcel Estates confirmed the interest with the increased traffic and sales volume during this period: “Many Turkish investors who visited Dubai during the mid-term holidays returned by making investments. Dubai is a city that exceeds the expectations of those who come as tourists or investors. While visitors in cities such as Istanbul, London and New York spend an average of 12-13 billion dollars, this figure increases to 30 billion dollars in Dubai. This is a clear indicator of the investor and tourist profile that Dubai attracts.”

Özden Çimen, who said that more than 2024 thousand housing purchases and sales were made in Dubai as of 220, said, “The total market volume of these transactions is estimated to be at the level of 250 billion dollars. According to the evaluations made by sector experts, it is predicted that the growth trend of the Dubai real estate market will continue and this record will be carried even further in 2025.”
