Pegasus Airlines General Manager, Mehmet T. Nane, said during the announcement, “The order we placed in 2012 for 100 Airbus aircraft was the biggest order in Turkey’s aviation history at the time. We received the first aircraft of this order in Q3 2016 and now we have an agreement to convert 25 options into firm orders.”
According to Nane, Pegasus “will continue to grow its fleet one step at a time and with our new aircraft we will continue to offer more comfortable flights for our passengers.”
To date, the leading Turkish low-cost carrier, headquartered in Istanbul, offers more than 100 destinations worldwide with a fleet of 74 aircraft. And its selection to move to an all-Airbus fleet reflects its strategy to develop its domestic and international network.
Likewise, John Leahy, COO at Airbus, affirmed that “the latest Pegasus Airlines’ order for the A321neo ACF variant underlines that Airbus offers the best, most efficient and most comfortable solution in the Middle of the Market segment,” highlighting the fact that the A321neo is the only aircraft of its kind in the market.
