Pegasus Airlines: "Despite the challenging conditions the tourism sector has experienced in 2016 we at Pegasus never wavered from our growth targets or the belief in our country, working harder than ever to ensure that, despite the fall in demand on some of our routes, we achieved robust growth in our key target areas including for overall guest numbers, number of flights and turnover. Our results are even more significant given the backdrop of the issues our sector has faced in the first half of the year," Mehmet Nane, CEO. Source: Company statement, 18-Aug-2016.
