SunExpress faces challenging summer season
SunExpress is facing a challenging summer season as bookings to many tourism areas have dropped to Turkey and the Greek islands due to the emigration of high number of Middle Eastern refugees. European vacationers have started to look for alternative destinations, which has affected leisure carriers including SunExpress. For example, the Greece Island Lesbos has seen a 90% drop in bookings for the summer 2016 season as it has become the number one refugee hot spot. “The year 2016 will be very challenging for SunExpress, especially the change of demand of destinations from our passengers. We are well prepared and adjusted our timetable and network,” CE Jaan Albrecht said. In 2015, SunExpress carried 8.7m passengers, up 19.2% compared to the previous year. Load factor was more than 85%. <br/>
