Two more companies intend to fly to Dalaman from the UK next season.

Manchester - Dalaman

Fast-expanding airline Jet2.com has announced that it will base another 229-seat Boeing 757 at Manchester Airport to meet growing demand for flights and to help ease capacity issues following the demise of XL Airways. It will create 25 new jobs as a result.

The company confirmed that its ninth 757 would be stationed at Manchester and would be used to increase capacity on its newly launched Dalaman and Sharm el Sheikh routes, which have seen strong sales, as well as filling the void left by XL Airways, notably on its Tenerife and Heraklion services.

Sales bookings for the 2009 season have been so strong on the Manchester to Dalaman route that the company has increased from one flight per week to two.

Glasgow, Prestwick - Dalaman

Meanwhile Holidays4U, an independent travel company, will be chartering flights from Glasgow Prestwick Airport just outside Ayr direct to Dalaman.

The weekly flights will operate on a Tuesday from June 16 to July 28 to cater for the busy school holiday period.
