Pegasus Airlines, renowned for its affordable travel solutions, continues to enhance its network with the introduction of a new route. The airline will initiate weekly flights using the Airbus A320 from Istanbul Sabiha International Airport to Tuzla International Airport starting on August 24, 2024. This move reflects the airline strategy to expand its footprint in key short to medium-range markets, providing frequent connections to its customers.

Sabiha International Airport, positioned on Istanbul Asian side about 32 kilometers southeast of the city center, acts as a hub for both AJet and Pegasus Airlines. The airport has witnessed a remarkable upsurge in passenger traffic, welcoming 37 million travelers in 2023, a significant increase from the 2020 figures. The international passenger segment showed the most growth, skyrocketing from 5.3 million in 2020 to nearly 19.4 million in 2023, underscoring the airport expanding role in global air travel.

Meanwhile, Tuzla International Airport, located near½ivinice in Bosnia and Herzegovina, stands as the country second-largest airport after Sarajevo International Airport. This new route by Pegasus Airlines marks an important development in increasing accessibility and fostering connectivity between Turkey and Bosnia and Herzegovina, enhancing both tourism and business exchanges between the two regions.
