Turkish low-cost carrier Pegasus Airlines has placed the largest aircraft order in its history.

The deal includes some 200 aircraft, and is comprised entirely of the Boeing 737 MAX 10.

At present, Pegasus Airlines operates a mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing single-aisle aircraft, which includes the 737-800 but none of the MAX variant.

The airline does, however, operate over a hundred Airbus A320neo/A321neo aircraft, with almost 60 on order.

 

About the Order

Pegasus Airlines has signed a new order agreement with Boeing for 200 aircraft to further strengthen its fleet in line with its growth targets. The aircraft deliveries from the new order are scheduled to join the Pegasus fleet starting from 2028. This marks the largest order ever placed in the airline’s history.

Under the terms of the agreement, Pegasus has placed a firm order for the first 100 Boeing 737-10 aircraft for delivery from 2028, with 100 additional purchasing options, which can be converted into firm orders in the future. The total value of the contract for 200 Boeing 737-10 aircraft is approximately 36 billion USD, based on Boeing’s publicly announced current list prices.

Pegasus Airlines launched operations with the Boeing 737 Classic nearly 35 years ago. The 737-10 will complement the airline’s fleet of Next-Generation 737s by providing operational commonality and flexibility to meet growing travel demand.
