UKS gets in the Festive Spirit
This weekend saw the insertion of a new,
festive route into the UKS schedule with weekend flights to Lapland.
Operating on a single flight per day to cater for the day trip
sector, the route will be available every weekend up to and including
Christmas Eve. The aircraft used for this route will be UKSuns
reliable (ahem!) 737 'Casper', which means that over December,
any routes Casper flew on a Weekend are withdrawn.
THIS ROUTE HAS NOW BEEN CLOSED.

Maiden Flight Successful
UK Sun's first flight departed London
Stansted this morning bound for Bodrum, Turkey. UKS317, booked
up since tickets went on sale in early May, made good time on
the 3h 30 min flight, landing just shortly after 09:40 BST in
hot and sunny conditions.
On the return journey, a slight delay
was encountered, mainly due to European Airspace congestion, however
UKS318 landed safely back at Stansted just after 14:45 BST.

(sounds nasty!), UK Sun has finally managed to find the finances
to get it's head back above water. After a few months of hectic

beyond are scheduled for departure on Monday 21st June. The first
flight, UKS317, is expected to be undertaken by UK Sun's oldest
