Turkey’s Pegasus Airlines announced Thursday that it will expand and modernize its fleet of single-aisle aircraft with an order for up to 200 737 MAX aircraft. This order includes a firm order for 100 737-10 jets – plus options for 100 more.
The largest model in the 737 MAX family, the 737-10 can carry as many as 230 passengers with a range of up to 5,740 km (3,100 nautical miles), while reducing fuel use and emissions by 20% compared to the airplanes it replaces. The airplane’s efficiency and flexibility will enable Pegasus Airlines to serve more passengers on more routes with the lowest cost per seat of any single-aisle airplane.

“Boeing aircraft have been an integral part of our operations since Pegasus entered the aviation industry in 1990,” said Güliz Öztürk, CEO of Pegasus Airlines. “We are pleased to be expanding our fleet with the new Boeing 737-10 model aircraft”.
“We have been a proud partner of Pegasus Airlines since their inception and we are excited to welcome them as the newest 737 MAX customer,” said Stephanie Pope, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
As low-cost carriers continue to boost regional growth and connectivity, the 737-10 will support Pegasus Airlines in reaching new markets across Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa.
