On August 15, SunExpress reported a technical failure in its systems that disrupted check-in and boarding processes for passengers traveling from Antalya. The airline confirmed the issue was resolved but canceled several flights to stabilize operations, including routes to Basel, Munich, Stuttgart, Zurich, Vienna, and Kayseri. Many passengers traveling from Antalya to Bucharest reported long delays and lost luggage upon arrival.
