British Airways is expanding its operations in Turkey with the launch of new service between London Gatwick and Antalya, Turkey with effect from 30 April, 2020.

The summer route, which will operate on an Airbus A320 six times a week, is already available to book with a launch offer from just £139 return in Euro Traveller or £387 return in Club Europe.

Customers can also choose to cut the cost of their ticket through Avios part payment, picking from a range of savings – customers could pay just £79 plus 10,800 Avios in Euro Traveller and £207 plus 35,100 Avios in Club Europe.

Antalya is a holiday hotspot and until October 29 customers can secure any British Airways Holiday booking with a deposit of just £25 per person, ensuring travellers do not miss out on the opportunity to take a well-deserved trip away.

The Antalya announcement comes as the airline adjusts its Gatwick schedule for Summer 2020. The new route to Turkey complements a summer Gatwick service to Dalaman and year-round flights between Istanbul and Heathrow.

Antalya is often described as the gateway to the Turquoise Coast with some of the most stunning landscapes in Turkey. The beaches and crystal-clear Mediterranean Sea are perfect for sunbathing, swimming and water sports.

As well as the rolling landscapes and beaches, the region has two-thousand years of history with a range of spectacular temples and Greco-Roman ruins close by, as well as a bustling food and cultural scene.
