His heartfelt remarks were warmly received by the flight crew, with one cabin attendant responding,
“If everyone here is as kind and warm as you, we would love to come here more often.”
The brief yet sincere exchange highlighted that Alanya is not only known for its sun, sea, and sand, but also for its heartfelt hospitality.
🛫 “This Is Just the Beginning”
Açıkalın continued by underlining the strategic importance of this development:
“The long-awaited Billund-Alanya-Gazipaşa route has finally been reinstated. This is a key step in reclaiming the Scandinavian market. We thank all stakeholders and tourism investors, including the TAV Airport team, ALTSO, and ALTİD. This is the first flight—but it certainly won’t be the last.”
