Boeing and Turkish low-cost carrier Pegasus Airlines (PC) announced an agreement for up to 200 Boeing 737 MAX 10 (737-10) aircraft, marking a significant expansion and modernization of the Turkish low-cost carrier’s fleet. The order includes 100 firm purchases of the 737-10 model, with options for an additional 100 aircraft. The Boeing 737-10, the largest in the MAX series, accommodates up to 230 passengers and offers a range of 5,740 kilometers (3,100 nautical miles). Its advanced design reduces fuel consumption and emissions by 20% compared to older models.
The aircraft’s efficiency and flexibility will enable Pegasus Airlines to operate more cost-effective routes while increasing passenger capacity. Pegasus Airlines CEO Güliz Öztürk emphasized the airline’s longstanding relationship with Boeing, dating back to its industry debut in 1990. “Expanding our fleet with the 737-10 aligns with our growth targets in Turkey and internationally,” Öztürk said.
