Turkey’s Pegasus Airlines reports passengers up 7.4%
Pegasus Airlines recorded a 7.4% increase in the number of passengers flown in the first 9 months of the year compared to a year previously, the airline has announced. The LCC flew 18.1m passengers, a notable rise against a backdrop of geopolitical problems that have severely affected the country’s important tourism industry this year. Tensions with Russia saw the number of Russian tourists plummet over the first part of the year, while western European visitors have stayed away in droves because of terrorist attacks. Analysis of the figures shows that Pegasus’s extensive domestic network helped passenger numbers keep expanding: numbers on Turkish domestic routes increased 10.9% to 11.42m while the number of passengers on international routes saw a much more modest 1.9% increase to 6.66m. <br/>
