Despite the orange travel advice, the company may offer holiday trips to Turkey. According to the CEO, Corendon is treated unjustly compared to other airlines that are allowed to fly to Turkey. That is what CEO Steven van der Heijden said in the program on Sunday This is the Day on Radio 1. Corendon is still talking to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management today. Then the company comes with a final decision.

Last Friday, Corendon announced its intention to resume holiday flights to Turkey from July 10, despite the orange travel advice (necessary travel only) issued by the Ministry for the country. Travelers are given a free corona test just before the return journey or when they return home, which means that they no longer need to be quarantined.

"The reality is that in the week after we want to fly again, no fewer than seventy flights fly directly to Turkey, the vast majority of which are just holiday flights or flights from Dutch people with a Turkish background who go on holiday with family," explains Van der Heijden.
