SunExpress is launching a new route to Dalaman in Turkey from Newcastle Airport.
The airline is also set to increase flights to Antalya from the airport in summer 2025.
Twice-weekly flights to Dalaman, known for its lively resorts and blue flag beaches, will start from May 4.
Chris Ion, aviation development manager at Newcastle Airport, said: "We have seen a fantastic response from customers since SunExpress launched flights to Turkey from Newcastle Airport and we are delighted they are expanding their services next year."
Tobias Bracht, head of sales for SunExpress, said: “This expansion is a testament to our success at Newcastle Airport and underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional service to passengers from the region since we launched flights from Newcastle last year."
The airline was crowned Best Leisure Airline in Europe at the 2024 Skytrax World Airline awards and now services 200 routes to 68 destinations across 35 countries.
