Following last week’s announcement that Turkey has been moved to England’s amber list, low-cost carrier (LCC) Pegasus Airlines has expanded its schedule and launched new direct flights from London Stansted and Manchester in the UK to Turkey and further afield.
The Turkish carrier has launched twice daily direct flights to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport from London Stansted. Five times weekly direct flights are also now operating to the Turkish gateway from Manchester Airport. Both routes offer a selection of onward connections across Pegasus’ extensive network of 36 destinations in Turkey, including to popular resorts such as Bodrum, Dalaman and Antalya, as well as its 83 other international destinations.
Pegasus is also launching twice-weekly direct flights between London Stansted and Antalya starting on 20 October, as well as five-times weekly flights to Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport from 21 October.
“In light of the new announcement putting Turkey back into the amber list, we’re seeing strong growth in our bookings to Turkey from England, and in response to this growing demand and desire for autumn travel, we’re delighted also to be expanding our flight programme from London Stansted and Manchester to Turkey, with excellent connections across our network of 119 destinations in 44 countries – meaning travellers will have a lot more choice with our flexible booking options this autumn and winter,” said Pegasus Airlines CCO, Guliz Ozturk.
“We’re planning to further increase the number of flights from England later in the autumn if demand continues to rise, and we’re very much looking forward to welcoming our guests back on board as travel begins to reopen again.”
