Pegasus Airlines resumed international flights at the weekend, with flights from the UK restarting today.
The airline will be operating a one-time direct flight between London Stansted and Izmir today (Monday) and will fly daily between London Stansted and Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen from tomorrow until June 29.
Pegasus will also be restoring some flights between Turkey and Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Switzerland and The Netherlands.
The schedule will be gradually increased further in the next phase, subject to the approvals of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation in Turkey.
For flights arriving in Turkey, health checks will be carried out on passengers entering the country.
