Who are sun express

Well Sun Express are down on olympic holidays site as operating their Rhodes, Kos, Corfu, Crete charters from MAN in summer. It doesn’t show a w pattern either.

It was Sky Express {SEH} that was down to operate these charters(not Sun Express). Now the Olympic Hols website is showing ICAO code AEE for Aegean Airlines.:confused:

Also operates several 757-200(W)

To be honest it’s still the same Lance, (espeically the other way around). I flew out in Greece for over a year off and on and we had to be very, VERY careful of Turkish airspace when taking off from said islands. It was stated that if we infringed the airspace we would have Turkish Airforce Jets along side us within minutes 😉

Ahem, we’re digressing somewhat 😀

Tensions have always been high in the sky along the Agean coast. Some of the greek islands can be literally a handful of miles off the Turkish coast. F-16 and F4 Jets on either side get scrambled frequently resulting in mexican standoffs in the airspace, sometimes aircraft are lost, this all eminates from the 1974 war in Cyprus. Sun express is a joint venture between Lufthansa and Turkish airlines, both countries havevery strong links. I think it exclusively operates B737-800’s but could be wrong.

Im sure We had Sun Express Operating flights out of NCL last year often on W Patterns, with other UK airports which was fine! They just had a nasty habit of sending the wrong airport we had in our systems!

Prodding people back on topic… 😉

Sun Express could, of course, have a deal with MON, so it’s Olympic Holidays giving the contract to SunExpress, who in turn are using Monarch! Wouldn’t be the first time something like that has been done I don’t think?

30 years ago, mate, fighters would have been scrambled if a Turkish airliner had entered Greek airspace.

Things have, at least, moved on from there. 😎

Oh I don’t know, every Greek Island still has a military airfield on it. Also the islanders of Mytilini (Lesbos), Chios & Lemnos are required to possess a firearm incase of a Turkish invasion 😉

It’s not the problem it would have been 25-30 years ago, Andy.

So, a Turkish airline flying to Greece… That should be fun!

That doesn’t necessarily mean that they will base aircraft at MAN, Tommy.

No.

So Sun Express will be basing at MAN ?
