Corendon Air

Corendon Airlines (IATA: XC) is a Turkish leisure airline headquartered in Antalya, Turkey. Founded in 2004 and commencing operations in 2005 as part of the Corendon Tourism Group, it specializes in scheduled and charter flights connecting European cities with popular Mediterranean holiday destinations in Turkey, Greece, Egypt, Spain, and beyond. Operating from hubs at Antalya Airport (AYT), İzmir Adnan Menderes (ADB), and Ankara Esenboğa (ESB), the airline serves over 140 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. As a low-cost carrier focused on tourism, it emphasizes affordable fares, generous baggage allowances on many routes, and efficient seasonal operations, often in partnership with tour operators like TUI. The all-Boeing 737 fleet (including 737-800 and MAX 8 variants) supports its short-haul leisure model. Distinctive for its integration with the broader Corendon group’s hotels and travel services, the airline maintains a strong presence in the German, Dutch, and UK markets while navigating seasonal demand fluctuations.
