Pegasus Airlines, recently named the ‘Best Low-Cost Airline in Turkey’ at the 2024 Skytrax World Airline Awards, is launching 6 new routes. The fresh additions aim to expand the airline’s growing flight network and enhance connectivity between a variety of Turkish cities and major European destinations.
Previously, passengers wishing to fly to or from Turkish cities beyond Istanbul often faced the inconvenience of layovers and connecting flights, resulting in higher costs and longer journey times. With the launch of these new direct routes, Pegasus Airlines is stepping in to address this issue.
