Pegasus Airlines has ordered 36 new medium-range A321neo aircraft from Airbus as part of its strategy to modernise its fleet.
Güliz Öztürk, chief executive of the low-cost Turkish carrier, said: “We continue to work diligently and determinedly towards our strategy of fleet modernisation, focusing on fuel and unit cost savings, and emission reductions.
“With an average age of 4.5 years, we operate the youngest fleet in Türkiye.”
The 239-seat single-aisle A321neos have higher seat capacity, lower fuel consumption and reduced carbon emissions per seat-kilometre than its predecessors.
She added: “This efficiency makes a significant contribution to reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
“In addition, we are actively pursuing many more initiatives on the road to net zero.
“We are moving towards this goal through our operational efficiency efforts, increasing our use of sustainable aviation fuel and our focus on alternative energy sources.”
Pegasus Airlines plans to pass the 100-aircraft mark this year and will take delivery of 10 A321neo aircraft in the remainder of 2023, 21 in 2024 and 11 in 2025.
