Turkey’s Pegasus, Still Servicing Russia, Sees Drone Disruptions

Turkish low-cost airline Pegasus Hava Tasimaciligi AS, among a group of airlines still servicing destinations in Russia, is “very closely” monitoring drone strikes that have become more frequent in recent weeks as Ukraine increases its cross-border counter-attacks on its neighbor.

“Russian airports and Russian airspace is quickly reacting” to shut the operations when drones hit, Chief Executive Officer Guliz Ozturk said in an interview in Lisbon. “It brings operational disruption, it’s a daily challenge.”
