Sunexpress decide against additional UK services due to Brexit

Uncertainty over traffic rights has caused SunExpress to reconsider its place in the UK leisure travel market. Speaking at Routes Europe conference last month, the airline's head of network planning Wilken Bellmann said "opportunities are being shoved away" because of complications around Brexit. This joint venture between Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa has decided to air on the side of caution, stating that although the new routes in the pipeline would in fact benifit SunExpress passengers and potential customers, it is not wise to persue such airports and flight services at this time.
