Pegasus Airlines, purchased by Esas Group in January 2005, is a leading low-cost airline in Türkiye, which provides reasonably priced transportation opportunities on point-to-point basis in short and medium range routes and aims to set up a wide flight network with high flight frequency for guests. After being acquired on 2005 by Esas Holding A.S. owned by Sevket Sabanci and his family, Pegasus Airlines started scheduled domestic flights in November of 2005 and became the 4th top among the scheduled airlines operating in Türkiye. We’re the most rapidly growing airline in Europe... Holding the belief that “everybody has the right to fly”, Pegasus Airlines brought “low-cost model” to life in Türkiye soon after starting scheduled flights. With an average age of 4.4 years, Pegasus Airlines has the youngest fleet in Türkiye and still continues to introduce reasonably priced airline transportation services in keeping with this aim. With its fleet composed of 111 airplanes in total by August 2024, Pegasus extended its flight network, which was initially composed of 7 domestic locations at the beginning of scheduled flights, up to 139 locations and currently has 104 international and 35 domestic flight locations in 53 countries. Pegasus Airlines’ goal is to transform flying from a luxury into something that forms part of people’s everyday lives while providing economic, safe and punctual travel opportunities to its guests both in Türkiye and globally through technological and flight safety investments.
