Another Turkish resort, Bodrum, opened in the summer season. The Turkish resort was “opened” by the British: according to Turkish travel media, the first EasyJet flight from Bristol arrived at Milas-Bodrum airport with 166 tourists on board.
The Turkish side reported that Milas-Bodrum airport received 3 million 904 thousand passengers last year. The number of flights and passengers approached the pre-pandemic indicators. And this year, the number of tourists will continue to grow, as the general manager of TAV Milas-Bodrum airport management company Iklal Kayaoglu hoped.
As for the Brits, EasyJet, which launched the first a/c flight, is expected to fly between Bodrum and Bristol three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, until 4 November 2023. In total, the British carrier expects to make 694 flights to Bodrum from the five cities of Bristol — in addition to Bristol, it will include London Gatwick and Luton airports, as well as Edinburgh and Liverpool airports.
