Turkish carrier Freebird Airlines has announced plans to operate all of its scheduled flights to Turkey during the peak holiday season despite disruption faced by the UK aviation industry.

The airline has not cancelled any flights to Turkey since operations resumed in May

Carl Denton, UK sales lead, said the carrier recruited additional check-in and departure gate staff earlier this year to support passengers under the current conditions.

"Furthermore, our flight plan operates outside of the key peak periods to ensure flight delays are kept to a minimum and the airport experience can be optimised," Denton added.

Freebird will operate four-times weekly Gatwick-Antalya services, two-times weekly Gatwick-Bodrum services and twice-weekly Manchester-Antalya services throughout summer.
