SunExpress CEO Max Kownatzki shared his insights on the importance of Turkey in the global tourism industry during the fvw | TravelTalk Congress 2024, one of the leading tourism events held in Germany.
Here are the key points from Kownatzki's statements during the Turkey panel at the fvw | TravelTalk Congress 2024:
- Turkey continues to be unmatched not only in the high value it offers in tourism but also in the diversity it provides in areas such as culture, sports, and gastronomy.
- We did not feel any impact from FTI Touristik's bankruptcy on the Turkish market. On the contrary, Turkey stands out as a steadily growing market over the years.
- As SunExpress, we draw our strength from our corporate spirit born out of the interaction between Turkish and German cultures. This interaction enables us to demonstrate extraordinary growth, allowing us to double our fleet in the next 10 years.
- One of the driving forces behind SunExpress's growth is the increase in flight frequencies. For example, we operate seven daily flights from certain airports in Germany to Antalya.
- The innovations and partnerships we have implemented are also supporting our growth. Our collaboration models with AirCairo Airlines and South African Airways are great examples of this.
