Pegasus Airlines
Pegasus is a value-oriented low-cost carrier offering no-frills scheduled service that appeals to budget-conscious travelers and leisure passengers. It operates mainly short- and medium-haul flights within Turkey and across Europe and neighboring regions, using a point-to-point model rather than a hub-and-spoke premium network. The airline is not part of a global alliance and positions itself on price and route breadth to secondary and holiday destinations rather than on premium onboard products.
Where Pegasus Airlines Flies
Pegasus is focused on domestic Turkish routes and regional short- to medium-haul services across Europe and nearby regions, with a particularly strong presence on leisure and point-to-point routes to Mediterranean destinations. The airline operates primarily from Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) and Antalya (AYT), using those airports as its main bases for both domestic trunk flights and international leisure services. Pegasus is not a member of a global airline alliance and relies on commercial partnerships and ticketing arrangements rather than alliance networks for wider connectivity.

Aircraft and Cabin Classes
Pegasus operates a short- and medium-haul narrowbody fleet made up primarily of Airbus A320-family aircraft and Boeing 737 series types for its scheduled routes. Cabins are operated in a single-economy configuration typical of low-cost carriers, with optional paid extras such as advance seat selection, extra-legroom seats, and bundled fare packages that add checked baggage and flexibility. There are no long-haul widebody services; expect a straightforward no-frills onboard experience rather than full-service premium cabins.
Aircraft types operated: Airbus A320, Airbus A321, Boeing 737-300, Boeing 737-400, Boeing 737-500, Boeing 737-800
