Pegasus Airlines (PC)

On 1 March 2022, the airline conducted its first flight with a blend of SAF. In 2022-2023, it continued to use SAF on certain flights. In 2024, it expanded its international SAF supply network to include France and the United Kingdom, with plans to extend it and increase volumes in the years to come.

The airline modernised its fleet with Airbus Neo, reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions by 20%.

The airline offsets its carbon emissions through the CORSIA and EU-ETS certified programmes.

The airline optimises its air operations, particularly by rationalising flight routes. It has also developed and implemented its own electronic flight bag (EFB). Among the initiatives adopted are optimising altitude usage, managing aircraft weight, engine washing, and implementing an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted planning system. On the ground, aircraft are now powered by battery-powered generators instead of diesel generators. Additionally, 23% of motorised vehicles have been replaced with electric vehicles.

In partnership with the Municipality of Pendik, the airline has implemented systematic sorting of recyclable packaging waste on its flights. At its base, this sorted waste is transported to the municipal recycling centre, separate from mixed waste. On board, the airline has replaced single-use plastic cutlery with durable metal alternatives and introduced R-PET cups made from 25% recycled plastic. These initiatives earned the airline the prestigious CAPA EMEA 2023 Airline of the Year award for its environmental sustainability performance.
