Pegasus Airlines will launch a year-round service between Bristol and Istanbul this summer.
Starting on 8 July, the Turkish airline will fly three times a week to Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport.
The service will operate every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, with seats already on sale.
Bristol Airport Chief Executive Dave Lees said: “We’re delighted to welcome Pegasus Airlines to Bristol Airport, which will open up an extensive range of destinations for onward travel to countries including Turkey, UAE and Saudi Arabia.
“It will also allow for more visitors to explore our local region, who would previously have visited the UK through London airports.
“This is good news for inbound tourism; for those who want to connect with family and friends; and for businesses in the southwest and South Wales who have overseas interests.”
