Pegasus Airlines is expanding its services from London and the East of England this year, providing holidaymakers with increased flexibility and options. The airline will operate 55 direct flights per week to five popular destinations in Turkey, including Istanbul, Antalya, Dalaman, Ankara, and Izmir.

Pegasus Airlines, founded in 2005, operates flights to 129 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia, with 36 destinations within Turkey. Their fleet consists of 93 aircraft, including the fuel-efficient Airbus A321 neo.
