Turkish low-cost airline Pegasus Airlines has ordered 100 Airbus aircraft as it unveils plans for major growth in the next 10 years.
This order of A320neo and A321neo aircraft is the largest ever aircraft order in the history of Turkish Civil Aviation.
The airline, which launched scheduled flights in 2005, has already been named Europe’s fastest growing airline in the Official Airline Guide’s (OAG) 2011 Report.
Christopher Buckley, Airbus executive vice president, responsible for Europe and Asia Pacific, said: "Turkey is rapidly developing into Europe’s most dynamic commercial aviation market and Pegasus is one of the major players within this transformation.
"We are very proud that Pegasus Airlines has become Airbus’ newest customer with such a significant order of new aircraft."
The first aircraft is expected to be delivered in 2015-2016, with the whole delivery completed in 2022.
