Mavi Gök Airlines (MGA) is launching a new weekly direct flight from Teesside International Airport to Antalya for the 2026 summer season. Flights will begin on Wednesday, 1 July 2026, and will operate every Wednesday until 28 October 2026.
As the newest airline operating from Teesside International Airport, MGA will serve this airport exclusively within the United Kingdom outside London.
A New Opportunity for a Midweek Getaway
According to the new flight schedule, aircraft will land in Teesside at 13:30, with the return service departing for Antalya at 15:30. This offers passengers an ideal chance for a midweek escape.
Antalya: The Mediterranean’s Premier Holiday Capital
The new route provides holidaymakers with easy access to Antalya’s unique coastal resorts and historical sites. The region offers a wide range of options including:
- Family-friendly resorts in Lara Beach,
- Luxury five-star hotels in Belek,
- The historic charm of Kaleiçi.
Visitors can also explore ancient cities such as Aspendos and Perge, swim in turquoise bays on boat tours, or relax on miles of sandy beaches.
Growing Momentum in Teesside
The new Antalya flight is part of the airport’s strong recent growth momentum. Earlier this year, Teesside gained year-round flights to Malaga and saw the Alicante route increased to four weekly services. The airport has now reached its highest passenger numbers in nearly 20 years.
Phil Forster, Managing Director of Teesside International Airport, commented on the development:
“This is great news for local people wanting more choice and more sunshine. Antalya is a fantastic destination for families and couples. We are very proud that MGA Airlines has chosen Teesside for its first UK flights outside London.”
Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen added:
“This announcement is a big win for local holidaymakers. More routes and more airlines mean people can reach fantastic destinations without travelling to distant airports. MGA’s move is a clear sign of how far Teesside Airport has come.”
