Flying from the UK and Ireland
In summer you can fly direct from London (Stansted, Gatwick and Luton), Birmingham, Manchester and several other UK airports with SunExpress, Jet2, easyJet and Pegasus, and from Dublin and Cork with SunExpress or Aer Lingus. In winter the choice shrinks, and connecting through Istanbul with Turkish Airlines or Pegasus is often the easiest option.
Direct international flights land at the International Terminal. If you connect in Istanbul, you usually clear passport control there and arrive at İzmir’s Domestic Terminal.
Codeshares and the airport’s own airline list
On Istanbul flights you will see many codeshare numbers from partner airlines on the screens; these are the same Turkish Airlines flight, not extra services. The airport website also publishes a general airline contact list that includes carriers with no scheduled flights to İzmir, so use the live flight board to see who actually flies here.
