Pegasus Airlines Orders 200 Boeing 737 MAX Jets

Boeing and Pegasus Airlines announced that Türkiye’s leading low-cost carrier will expand and modernize its single-aisle fleet with an order for up to 200 737 MAX airplanes. The purchase includes a firm order for 100 737-10 jets, with options for 100 more.

“The 737-10’s efficiency and flexibility will enable us to serve more passengers on more routes,” said Güliz Öztürk, CEO of Pegasus Airlines. “We continue to invest in our fleet in line with our growth targets in Türkiye and globally.”

The 737-10, the largest model in the 737 MAX family, can carry up to 230 passengers with a range of up to 5,740 km (3,100 nautical miles), reducing fuel use and emissions by 20% compared to the airplanes it replaces.

“We are excited to welcome Pegasus Airlines as the newest 737 MAX customer,” said Stephanie Pope, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “We look forward to delivering on the 737-10 and its promise of greater efficiency, versatility, and reliability.”

Pegasus Airlines, which launched operations with the Boeing 737 Classic nearly 35 years ago, will complement its fleet of Next-Generation 737s with the new 737-10 to meet growing travel demand.

“As low-cost carriers boost regional growth, the 737-10 will support us in reaching new markets across Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa,” Öztürk added.

The order aligns with Boeing’s National Aerospace Initiative with the Turkish government, creating production and export opportunities for Turkish manufacturers and the wider aviation industry.

Pegasus Airlines, acquired by ESAS Holding in 2005, operates flights to 144 destinations in 53 countries, offering low fares and young aircraft through its low-cost model.
