About Pegasus Airlines
Pegasus Airlines (ICAO: PGT) is a Turkish low-cost carrier, headquartered in Kurtköy, Pendik, Turkey. It was founded in December 1989 as a joint venture with Aer Lingus and commenced operations as a charter airline in April 1990. A significant transformation occurred in January 2005 when ESAS Holdings acquired Pegasus Airlines, subsequently relaunching it as a scheduled low-cost airline. This strategic shift led to the commencement of scheduled domestic flights in November 2005, followed by international services the following year.
The airline's main operational base and primary hub is Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW). Pegasus Airlines also maintains other significant bases in Turkey, including Ankara Esenboğa, Antalya, and Izmir Adnan Menderes, along with Ercan in Northern Cyprus. Its route network is extensive, serving 156 locations, comprising 38 domestic and 118 international destinations across 54 countries as of September 2025. As of November 2025, it covers 39 domestic and 121 international destinations in 52 countries, focusing on Europe, Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caucasus region. Pegasus operates using a hub-and-spoke model, utilizing Istanbul's advantageous geographical position to facilitate transit flights between continents.
Pegasus Airlines is not a member of any major global airline alliances like Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld. However, it has established codeshare agreements with several airlines, including Delta Air Lines, Flynas, ITA Airways, KLM, Nile Air, and Qatar Airways. Additionally, it holds interline agreements with Air Transat, Emirates, and Norse Atlantic Airways. The airline primarily operates a single-class (economy) cabin configuration across its fleet. Passengers can choose from various fare packages such as Basic, Essentials, Advantage, and Business Flex, which offer different inclusions regarding baggage and services. In-flight services include a "Flying Cafe" where food and beverages are available for purchase, and streaming entertainment to personal devices is also offered.
