Great addition. I wonder how much of their traffic is connections and how much is just low-cost to Istanbul? They don’t offer through ticketing, but on a route like Manchester to Karachi, for example, they are often much cheaper than the alternatives.

Just had a look on their website and you can book connecting flights as one ticket...

Great news for BHX, More routes to Istanbul and more choice. I'd imagine this would be more for Leisure customers who don't really care about the onward Connection and just want a cheap get away whereas TK will be for the more Bussiness Traveller and Premium Customers.

That’s good to know. It works for me now. Maybe they were still loading when I looked last night.

Pegasus Airlines is launching a three-times-a-week route between Birmingham Airport (BHX) and Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW)
Birmingham - (9 November 2023) Low-cost carrier Pegasus Airlines is to start flying three times a week between Birmingham Airport (BHX) and Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW), with one-way fares from Birmingham Airport starting at £39.99.
From December 21 Pegasus will offer the flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Pegasus serves more than 130 destinations in 49 countries across Asia, Africa and Europe from its SAW hub.
Nick Barton, CEO of BHX, said: “We are very pleased to welcome Pegasus Airlines into the BHX fold. Pegasus is a very impressive low-cost carrier whose commitment to sustainable long-term growth is matched by our own here at BHX.
“I have no doubt these new services to SAW will be very popular with sunseekers, pilgrims, business travellers and people going to see family both in Türkiye and across the vast array of destinations offered by Pegasus’s strong onwards network covering Asia, Europe and Africa.”
Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah (UAE), Doha (Qatar), Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada (Egypt), Beirut (Lebanon), Karachi (Pakistan), Tbilisi and Batumi (Georgia), Baku (Azerbaijan), Yerevan (Armenia), Baghdad, Erbil and Basra (Iraq), Tehran and Tabriz (Iran), Medina and Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), Almaty, Astana and Shymkent (Kazakhstan), Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan), Amman (Jordan), Bahrain and Kuwait are among the destinations served by Pegasus from its SAW hub.
In addition to its extensive international flight network, Pegasus connects guests to Türkiye’s top summer destinations such as Antalya, Bodrum, Dalaman, and Izmir.
Pegasus is one of the fastest-growing airlines post-pandemic having fully recovered its operating capacity and profitability during 2022. It is actively seeking to decarbonise its operations in line with its commitment to IATA’s Net Zero by 2050 pledge and global imperatives to protect the planet. Investing in fuel-efficient, new generation aircraft is a significant part of Pegasus’ sustainability strategy, which positions the airline as having one of the most modern fleets in Europe, with an average age of 4.6 years as of September 2023.
These ambitions are mirrored by BHX, which is aiming to have become a carbon net zero airport by 2033 by implementing low-carbon alternatives into its operation. A project is currently under way to install 12,000 solar panels across BHX’s northeast boundary. By May 2024 the green power this installation produces will cover 20% of BHX’s electricity requirement.

Something they haven’t even thought about yet as they just started

I've noticed that the A321 is scheduled for all three weekly flights at the moment. A two monthly rolling change seems to be occuring. So yesterday (14th Jan) the 14th March was showing as an A320, but later in the day it had changed to an A321. This has been happening for every flight two months in advance. Let's hope it continues and see if the 16th March changes to an A321 tomorrow.....and onwards into the future 🤞
