Pegasus Hava Tasimaciligi Anonim Sirketi (PGSUS.IS) operates as a low-cost carrier providing passenger and cargo air transportation services primarily within Turkey and to select international destinations. The company offers scheduled domestic flights connecting major Turkish cities such as Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, and Antalya; international services to Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and North Africa; and ancillary services including baggage handling, in-flight meals, seat selection, and loyalty programs under the "Miles&Smiles" branding. Pegasus Airlines serves leisure and business travelers with a fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft, emphasizing affordable fares, point-to-point routes, and digital booking platforms via its mobile app and website.
Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, the company maintains operations across more than 40 countries, with key hubs at Sabiha Gokcen International Airport and secondary bases in cities like Antalya, Adana, and Izmir. It competes in the low-cost airline segment of the aviation industry, targeting price-sensitive customers through direct sales channels that minimize distribution costs. Pegasus Airlines also provides wet-leasing services to other carriers and engages in cargo transportation using belly-hold capacity on passenger flights.
In recent developments, Pegasus Airlines expanded its fleet with orders for up to 200 Boeing aircraft announced in late 2024, supporting long-term capacity growth amid rising travel demand. The company formed strategic partnerships with tour operators and financial institutions for bundled travel packages and entered new routes to Africa and the Americas in 2025. Additionally, Pegasus completed a capital increase through rights offerings in early 2025 to bolster liquidity following post-pandemic recovery efforts.
