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.
