Mavi Gök adds more Cologne Bonn to Antalya departures from September 15, giving travelers another flight to compare for an autumn Turkey trip. The important booking distinction is the aircraft: the expansion includes both Boeing 777 and Boeing 737 flights, so the premium cabin described in the announcement is not a promise for every added departure.
Cologne Bonn Airport announced the increase on September 9, ahead of the first additional flights this Tuesday. For travelers using our airline planning hub to compare an itinerary, this is extra service on an existing route, not a newly opened airport pair or a fare sale.
- First additions: September 15, 2026, from Cologne Bonn to Antalya.
- Published departure: 12:40 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday.
- Autumn total: 56 extra flights through November 8, including 15 Boeing 737 departures.
- Booking distinction: Check the specific flight and cabin, not just the route name.
September 15 Brings Another Departure to Compare
The airport’s official announcement puts six additional weekly flights alongside Mavi Gök’s existing daily service. It lists the new departures at 12:40 p.m., with a flight time of just under four hours.
That creates another outbound option for someone who has not yet committed to an autumn holiday. It does not establish a matching return at a convenient time, and travelers should compare both legs before choosing a hotel stay around the newly advertised departure.
A Monday departure requires a different search because Monday is absent from the added Tuesday through Sunday pattern. That does not mean Mavi Gök has no Monday service: the existing daily operation is separate from this expansion.
The 56 Extra Flights Are an Autumn Total
aeroTELEGRAPH’s September 10 report also describes the added service and the combined autumn total. Within the September 15 to November 8 window, 41 extra flights are planned with Boeing 777 aircraft; the remaining 15 use Boeing 737s between October 2 and November 1.
The announcement does not provide a complete date-by-date calendar for all 56 additions. Treat the published weekly pattern and the autumn total as separate pieces of information, rather than multiplying six departures across the entire period and assuming that the result represents bookable inventory.
This matters most if a trip falls near the edge of the autumn program. A flight available during the October holiday period does not prove that the same departure runs in early November, and the booking result for the selected date should settle that question.
A Boeing 777 Booking Is Not the Same as a 737 Booking
The airport describes the Boeing 777-300ER configuration as carrying up to 339 passengers, with a combined 60 Business Class and Premium Economy seats. It specifically attributes fully flat seats to Business Class, not to every seat in those two premium cabins.
If that cabin feature is the reason to choose Mavi Gök, ask the seller to identify the cabin and aircraft attached to the actual reservation. A generic aircraft photograph or a reference to a premium product elsewhere on the route does not establish which seat is included in an individual ticket.
The October Boeing 737 additions should therefore be considered separately from the widebody offer. Travelers mainly seeking another departure date may welcome either aircraft, while someone paying for a particular seat experience needs a more specific confirmation than the airline name alone.
Compare the Airline Ticket With the Tour Package
The airport directs customers both to tour operators and to Mavi Gök’s own website for flight bookings. It specifically points to tour operators for the premium seats, so a package search and a flight-only search may present different choices.
Compare what each seller actually includes for the same dates and cabin. An advertised extra departure does not by itself establish that baggage, airport transfers, a hotel stay or a particular change condition is included in the price being considered.
| Your priority | Booking check |
|---|---|
| A Monday departure | Search the existing daily service, not the new six-day pattern. |
| A fully flat seat | Confirm Business Class on the specific Boeing 777 flight. |
| An October trip | Check whether the selected addition uses a 777 or a 737. |
| A November return | Verify that date independently of the autumn outbound total. |
The useful change is another set of departures to price and fit into an itinerary, not a guarantee of cheaper seats. Anyone with an existing reservation should compare the cost of changing it against the complete alternative before treating the expansion as a reason to rebook.
For a new reservation, settle the return flight and the cabin first, then coordinate the rest of the trip. That keeps the choice tied to the actual September or October service instead of the most attractive feature in a general route announcement.
The first additions begin September 15. Check the dated inventory now if the extra midday option suits an imminent trip.
The aircraft mix changes the comparison. The Boeing 777 premium description should not be transferred to the separate Boeing 737 additions.
