The leisure airline Corendon Airlines has set the course for further growth in its twentieth year of operation. Passengers, and travel agency and tour operator partners, can therefore look forward to larger capacities in 2026. This will be particularly evident in the summer season of the coming year (April to October), when capacity from UK will see a 9% capacity increase compared to 2025.
In the UK market, Corendon Airlines will prioritise more balanced timetables and higher weekly frequencies on core leisure routes so that travellers and trade partners benefit from greater choice and schedule reliability.
The additional capacity is also reflected in the destinations served. While Turkey will see single-digit percentage growth, flights to Greece will be the main growth driver, with Heraklion seeing a 26% increase from UK. The main network focus in the UK is primarily frequency increases and improved day-of-week patterns on selected routes, rather than headline seat expansion.
Matthew Carpenter, Corendon Airlines UK Country Manager commented: “We are pleased to see a modest growth in the UK capacity for 2026 as we continue our planned market growth strategy in the UK. 2025 will see stronger year end results with a predicted growth increase of 6% in load factor across our UK flights and a healthy average fare increase. This 2025 performance has been down to a combination of optimised schedule improvements and stronger partner alignments.
