Corendon Airlines has unveiled its summer 2026 flight schedule, announcing a 20 per cent increase in seat capacity across the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Poland compared with last year.
The leisure airline, which currently carries around 10 million passengers annually, will serve 18 popular destinations in Turkey, Greece, Spain and the Canary Islands, Egypt and Morocco.
With demand from UK travellers continuing to rise, Corendon Airlines is expanding frequencies on routes from six UK departure airports. London Stansted will see daily flights to Antalya, while Manchester, London Gatwick, Birmingham, Glasgow and Newcastle will also benefit from multiple weekly services to the Turkish Riviera hub.
The carrier will also maintain regular UK connections to Heraklion, offering more opportunities for travellers to explore Crete.
Matthew Carpenter, UK Country Manager, said: “In the 2026 summer flight schedule, we are concentrating on our core routes and consistently pursuing our growth strategy. We are increasing UK flights, focusing on our core bases in Greece and Turkey, and increasing the frequency of flights from some of our current UK departure points.”
In Germany, where Corendon partners with major tour operators, Antalya flights will be significantly expanded from all four bases at Düsseldorf, Cologne/Bonn, Hanover and Nuremberg. Düsseldorf alone will see three daily flights, while the others will increase to at least two per day.
A brand new route between Münster/Osnabrück and Heraklion will also launch in 2026, strengthening the airline’s position in the Greek market.
Flights to Hurghada from Nuremberg, Düsseldorf and Cologne/Bonn will increase from three to an average of five per week. In addition, several seasonal routes trialled in 2025 will now run throughout the full summer, including Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzig, Munich, Stuttgart, Linz and Vienna to Hurghada.
Corendon will also operate summer-long services from Hanover to Las Palmas and Fuerteventura, from Nuremberg to Fuerteventura and Palma de Mallorca, and from Düsseldorf to Palma de Mallorca.
Poland has also been highlighted as a key growth market. Corendon plans to expand its route network and capacity significantly for summer 2026 to meet strong demand, signalling its strategic ambition in Central and Eastern Europe.
The 2026 summer schedule underscores Corendon’s commitment to its core leisure markets while expanding capacity across its main hubs. With more frequent services to popular Mediterranean and North African destinations, the airline is positioning itself to capture the rising demand from holidaymakers across Europe.
