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, which is the largest model in the 737 MAX family, can carry up to 230 passengers.

Furthermore, the 737-10 offers a range of up to 5,740 km (3,100 nautical miles). In addition to its impressive capacity and range, it significantly reduces fuel use and emissions by 20% compared to the airplanes it replaces. Consequently, it stands out as a more environmentally friendly option.

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

Pegasus Airlines will add the 737-10 to its Next-Generation 737 fleet to meet growing travel demand.

“The 737-10 will help us reach new markets across Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa,” Öztürk added.

The order supports Boeing’s National Aerospace Initiative with Turkey, boosting production and export opportunities for Turkish manufacturers.

Acquired by ESAS Holding in 2005, Pegasus Airlines operates low-cost flights to 144 destinations in 53 countries.
