Reported to the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP), the airline showed that it had seen an increase of 33.7% in the total number of people flying with them – it was recorded that a total of 26.9 million individuals flew with Pegasus Airlines in 2022.
It was this growth that contributed to the significant increase in turnover, which reached 2.4 billion Euros, or $2.7 billion, an increase of 139%.
Net profits for the company and guests welcomed aboard
It was also reported by Pegasus Airlines that there was a net profit of 431 million Euros for 2022.

In addition, the revenue was reported by the airline to be TL 42.73 billion in 2022, equivalent to $2.26 billion, which was up from the TL 10.66 billion in the same period of the year before.
Increasing capacity and fleet sizes in the coming year
Plans were announced by the airline to increase the capacity by around 20% in 2023 compared to the current capacity in 2022. This increase includes the expansion of the fleet size from 96, seen in 2022, to 102 aircrafts by 2023.
The airline has aims by the end of 2023 to provide 86% of its total capacity for seats with next-generations fuel-saving airplanes.
Helping with the tragic earthquakes
The CEO of Pegasus, Guliz Ozturk, explained that despite the tragedy, efforts have been made by Pegasus Airlines to support the communities who have been affected. She said: “Since the first moment of the earthquake, we have carried out many activities within the scope of solidarity.”
