Pegasus Airlines: Fares, the A321neo Fleet and What to Expect from the Turkish Low-Cost Carrier

The fleet

At the end of 2025 the fleet numbers 127 aircraft: 66 Airbus A321neo, 46 A320neo, 6 A320ceo and just 9 remaining Boeing 737-800, for a share of new-generation aircraft equal to 88% of the total. The plan is to reach 132 aircraft by the end of 2026, with the last A320ceos leaving and new A321neos arriving.

Fares and baggage

The base fare includes no checked baggage, seat selection or onboard meal: every additional service is paid for separately, following the classic low-cost scheme. Pegasus also runs its own loyalty program, Pegasus BolBol, designed for those who fly frequently on the airline's Turkish and international network.

Routes and network

From Sabiha Gökçen the network reaches the main Turkish cities and a wide range of destinations in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia, with a point-to-point model rather than a pure hub-and-spoke one, in direct competition with European low-cost carriers on routes to Turkey.

What passengers say

Online opinions reflect the typical profile of a fast-growing low-cost airline.

• On the plus side: aggressive fares on Turkish routes and to Europe, a young and uniform fleet that reduces technical problems.
• On the minus side: ancillary costs that add up quickly if you do not plan baggage and seat in advance, customer service judged less responsive in peak periods.

Pegasus Airlines suits those who want to reach Turkey or a regional destination served by the airline's network paying as little as possible and traveling light. It is less suitable for anyone who books at the last minute hoping for a low fare, because on Turkish low-cost carriers prices rise quickly a few days before departure. Always set up baggage and seat when you buy the ticket, because adding them later almost always costs more.
