Turkey’s Pegasus volume jumped in July as air travel rebounds

Passenger volume at the Turkish airline Pegasus Hava jumped in July from a year ago but remains well below pre-pandemic levels as travel restrictions continue. At 2.49m, travelers for the month were up 137% from July 2020 but down 19% from 2019, the Istanbul-based low-cost carrier said in an exchange filing on Friday. In June, passengers were 1.78m. Separately, in a presentation, Pegasus said it was outperforming its peers in capacity recovery while still facing a “heavy and unforeseeable restrictive environment” on international travel. Pegasus flies domestically and to destinations in Europe and the Middle East.<br/>
