The new order comes on top of 18 A321Neo and 57 A320Neos already on order bringing Pegasus Airlines total firm order to 100 Airbus A320 Family aircraft.

Pegasus has decided to move to an all-Airbus fleet in 2012. Currently the airline still operates a fleet of 50 Boeing 737-800 beside 12 Airbus A320 and 12 Airbus A320Neo. The Airbus A321Neo will have 220 seats in a single class configuration. The A321Neo ACF introduces new door and fuselage enhancements allowing airlines to make better use of the cabin space and also provide provision for more underfloor fuel capacity for up to 4,000nm transatlantic range. 

Pegasus Airlines General Manager Mehmet T. Nane: “Turkey keeps strengthening its position in the World aviation market every day and we as Pegasus are an important part of this transformation. 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. We will continue to grow our fleet one step at a time and with our new aircraft we will continue to offer more comfortable flights for our passengers.”

Pegasus Airlines is a Turkish low cost carrier with bases in several Turkish cities. The airline was founded in 1990 and offers flights to over 100 destinations.
