Two additional services will be added from March 25, with a third extra flight commencing on May 28. The new frequencies will operate on Monday, Friday and Sunday using two-class B737-800 aircraft.

The carrier recently launched flights from Gatwick airport to Istanbul (see online news December 21, 2011), adding to existing services from Heathrow, Stansted, Birmingham and Manchester.
