Bodrum Airport is in for a busy 2010 as three major low-cost airlines have all targeted the Turkey destination for an increase in direct services.

Experts believe this will also encourage overseas home hunters and holidaymakers particularly in the current economic climate.

ABTA reported a huge 25 percent increase in bookings to Turkey made through its members in 2009 and the airlines have been quick to respond.

Turkish low-cost carrier Pegasus Airlines was the first to pin its colours to the mast adding 17 new direct flights per week from the UK to Turkey, including services to Bodrum from Manchester and London Stansted.

EasyJet has added Liverpool, Bristol and London Stansted to its current London Gatwick service to Bodrum. Although summer only, this service could extend year-round dependent on interest.

Monarch is preparing to head east from May with the introduction of new London Luton flights to Bodrum which will operate alongside existing, but increased, services from London Gatwick and Manchester.

UK developer Galliard Homes is building, in joint-venture with Signature International, the resort of Horizon Sky which is easily accessible from Bodrum Airport. Horizon Sky spokesman Daniel Dias said: “Over 2.4 million Brits visited Turkey in 2009 and you just know that figure is going to be left in the shade when the 2010 statistics are in.

“Turkey has exploded as a destination of choice over recent years but the rub has always been direct, low-cost air access. This deluge of new flights is welcome, although not entirely unexpected, and property buyers will quickly see value added to their investment.”

Although over 400 of Horizon Sky’s planned 600 units have been sold, there’s plenty of choice across the price range. Two bedroom duplex apartments are available from £89,891 and one bedroom penthouses with terrace and Jacuzzis start from £126,545. There’s a direct from the developer payment plan including a zero deposit zero interest five-year and a zero deposit ten-year option with a fixed interest rate of 4.9 percent.
