Pegasus Airlines to launch flights to Greek islands

By Tuba Ongun

ANKARA (AA) - Türkiye's low-cost Pegasus Airlines will launch flights from Istanbul to the Greek islands of Rhodes (Rodos) and Mytilene (Midilli) starting from June 1, the company said on Wednesday.

Flights from Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen Airport on the city's Anatolian side to Greek islands will be offered twice a week, with round-trip fares starting from $/€159.99.

After entering into the aviation sector in 1990, Pegasus Airlines became the leading low-cost carrier in the country after it was sold to Türkiye's Esas Holding in 2005.

The Turkish budget airline flies to 128 destinations -- 36 domestic and 92 international -- in 47 countries.
