Currently there are only two more flights set to depart from Leeds Bradford for the city on the Turquoise Coast with the last being on June 7.
Flights between Manchester and Bodrum have also been axed – this has been done immediately as there are no tickets on sale or further routes planned on its website.
The Manchester to Bodrum route was only launched a month ago on May 4.
Routes from Glasgow to Dalaman and Antalya have also been axed.
The final flight from Glasgow to Dalaman will be on June 9.
There are no more flights between the Scottish airport and Antalya.
A spokesperson from SunExpress told Travel Gossip that the reasons for the routes being axed were “geopolitical developments” and a “highly volatile environment”.
Another was the increasing price of jet fuel and as a result of this it is also reducing the number of flights on other services.
They added: “We regret any inconvenience caused, and will continue to provide UK travellers with a wide range of flights and routes to Türkiye from airports across the UK.”

“At this stage, we’re not in a position to confirm when the suspended services may be reinstated. We will provide further updates as soon as more information is available.”
SunExpress – a budget airline – will continue other routes to Antalya.
These go from Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, Manchester and Newcastle.
The airline will also continue to fly to Antalya from Birmingham, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Manchester, and Newcastle.

The German flag carrier has already stopped selling flights on the route, with the last direct flight between Glasgow and Frankfurt scheduled for May 31.
A Lufthansa Group spokesman told The Herald: “Following the decision to discontinue Lufthansa CityLine flights effective immediately and to reduce unprofitable flights in the future due to high kerosene prices, the Lufthansa Group’s summer schedule will be reduced by just under one percent of available seat-kilometers.
“To compensate for this, Lufthansa has taken immediate action and will consolidate the flight schedules of all Lufthansa Group airlines, cancelling 20,000 flights by the end of October.
“As a result of these decisions, flights to Glasgow will no longer be operated by Lufthansa via Frankfurt, but for the time being, by Edelweiss via Zurich offering access to the Swiss International Air Lines network.”
Flights between Glasgow and Frankfurt were first launched back in 2018 and currently there are 13 flights a week.
Lufthansa usually uses an Airbus A320 for this route, with between 168 and 180 seats.
As a result, this would mean the route carries as many as 2,340 passengers a week or 9,360 passengers over a month.
The airline previously announced that it plans to cancel more than 20,000 flights this summer as a result of rising fuel costs.
Most of the routes impacted will be short haul, with the airline also shutting down its subsidiary airline, CityLine.

The decision comes as the Iran War continues to impact fuel prices.
Norse only introduced the route between the UK and American city back in June 2023 and at that time operated seven flights per week from London Gatwick to Los Angeles.
The airline had planned to operate six flights per week for the peak summer months.
However, the flight route – due to start next month – will be cancelled for the entire season until October.
And it isn’t just Brits that will impacted as the airline is also stopping its routes to Los Angeles from Rome in Italy and Paris Charles de Gaulle in France.
The announcement means that Norse will only have four long-haul routes this summer, including London Gatwick to New York and London Gatwick to Orlando.
According to Travel Gossip, a spokesperson said: “Due to the continued increase in fuel constraint risks, fuel prices, and the resulting impact on our operating costs, we have had to make the difficult decision to suspend our LAX operations this summer, May to October.
“All affected customers will be proactively notified by Norse Atlantic Airways today where contact details are available.
“We sincerely apologise, but as a consequence of this fuel crisis, it is our responsibility to ensure we make this decision to maintain a sustainable airline for our passengers and colleagues.”
The news follows a number of other airlines making decisions to axe flights and increase fare prices as a result of the ongoing fuel crisis caused by the Iran war.
Yesterday, KLM announced that they were axing 160 flights across Europe over the next month due to the fuel crisis.
These include services to and from London.
The cancellations will impact flights travelling to and from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands.
However, the airline has said that they currently do not have a shortage of jet fuel.
A KLM spokesperson said: “Passengers affected by these changes will be rebooked onto the next available flight.

“As these are destinations KLM serves multiple times a day, such as London and Düsseldorf, travellers can usually be accommodated quickly.
“KLM expects a busy May holiday period and is making sure passengers can travel to their holiday destinations as planned.”
This week, Lufthansa also announced that its subsidiary airline CityLine is to cease operations due to both the Iran war and ongoing strike action.
The airline – which operates some flights to and from the UK including Frankfurt and Munich – will be grounding 27 aircraft from April 18.
Lufthansa’s main airline will be grounding four Airbus jets and two Boeing jets for good, by the end of the summer as well.
