Pegasus Airlines continuing to expand in Eastern Europe

Pegasus Airlines is continuing with its Eastern European network expansion heading into the winter 2012/2013 schedule with three new routes to be launched in Oct-2012. A fourth route, to the Middle East, will also be launched in late Oct-2012.

The privately-owned Turkish LCC already operates an extensive European and domestic Turkish network with services to Eastern Europe and the Middle East growing rapidly. Pegasus has also been seeking to increase its Central Asian network but is facing difficulties receiving the rights to expand in this area.

In Oct-2012, Pegasus will be launching services from Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen to Belgrade (Serbia), Batumi (Georgia) and Lviv (Ukraine) in the first half of the month, followed by service to Dubai in the latter half.
