SunExpress has announced that it has begun offering Covid-19 travel insurance options in cooperation with Güneş Sigorta to its guests. Passengers who are traveling from abroad to Turkey will be able to obtain health insurance coverage against coronavirus by choosing one of the insurance alternatives available while booking their flight. This service guarantees that the treatment and hospitalisation costs after a definitive diagnosis of Covid-19 will be covered by Güneş Sigorta. With this service offered at advantageous rates, passengers will be able to benefit from the best health care services during their stay in Turkey without any additional treatment costs.

SunExpress brings European holidaymakers to Turkey’s most popular holiday destinations and carries Turkish citizens living in Europe to their home countries and loved ones. The airline offers direct and scheduled flights from 14 cities in Turkey to 29 destinations in Europe.

The airline says it has taken all necessary measures to provide a healthy and safe flight experience for passengers and crew in close cooperation with national and international health and aviation authorities. All passengers travelling from Turkey to Germany are required to take the Covid-19 test and those who do not submit a negative PCR test result taken within 48 hours prior to arrival will not be allowed on board the flight.

Wearing face masks is mandatory on board all SunExpress flights. The airline has also updated its in-flight services to minimize contact. While the limited service will only be available on flights that are more than two hours long, SunExpress will no longer serve food and beverages on flights under two hours. According to directives from the relevant authorities, the airline will not accept any cabin baggage on board except essential items such as laptops, handbags, briefcases and baby items. SunExpress will also distribute disinfectant wipes to passengers on all its flights.
