Start Of Pegasus Airlines’ Biggest Summer From London Stansted

(CTN News) – Pegasus Airlines will have its largest summer season ever for flights to the United Kingdom. Pegasus will operate 55 direct flights from Turkey each week from London Stansted Airport (STN).

Turkish Airlines, the country’s leading low-cost carrier, will operate 55 direct flights between Istanbul and London Stansted this summer.

The project will provide direct connections between this airport and five of the most popular Turkish cities, including Istanbul (SAW), Antalya (AYT), Dalaman (DLM), Ankara (ESB), and Izmir (ADB).

In June 2023, there will be 30 weekly flights between London and Istanbul, or approximately three to five flights per day. There are only two weekly flights between London and Dalaman and three to Ankara on the other routes (Izmir and Antalya).

London Stansted’s Managing Director, Gareth Powell, stated,

Additionally, by increasing capacity and frequency on existing routes (particularly with the use of the Airbus A321neo), passengers will have greater choice and flexibility without having to travel to other airports.

The Pegasus Airlines fleet consists of 93 aircraft, and the company flies to 129 destinations throughout Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia, as well as 36 domestic destinations within Turkey. The number of international passengers carried by the airline doubled last year.

In addition, Barbaros Kubatolu, Pegasus Airlines’ Chief Financial Officer, stated that the airline has flown more than six million passengers from London Stansted since 2007.

The connection of people, places, and cultures is at the heart of what we do, and we are delighted to continue to do so, taking passengers between the United Kingdom, Turkey, and beyond.

With our well-connected low-cost flights and our sustainability initiatives, we continually strive to offer the best possible customer experience.
