Why SUNTURK
Pegasus began flying in 1990 as a charter airline, partly owned by Aer Lingus, carrying package-holiday passengers to the Turkish coast. The call sign pairs sun with Turkey, the charter-era pitch, and the airline kept it after its 2005 sale and conversion to a low-cost carrier.
Pegasus Airlines is a Turkish low-cost carrier headquartered in Istanbul. It operates flights across Europe and the Middle East, primarily utilizing its base at Sabiha Gokcen International Airport. Pegasus has been rapidly expanding its fleet of Airbus A320neo family aircraft.
