Pegasus Airlines has opened new aircraft maintenance centre at Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Airport.
The hangars will offer simultaneous maintenance to five narrowbody aircraft, which the airline said will significantly increase its operational strength. The facility also has one paint hangar. Pegasus said the infrastructure of the centre is based on digitalisation, efficiency and sustainability.
The project has an initial investment of $40 million. Pegasus aims to optimise time and resources in maintenance processes, enhance operational efficiency, and reduce maintenance-related aircraft downtime.
The second phase will be complete in the second quarter of 2026, offering an additional hangar. The new hangar will provide maintenance for five more narrowbody aircraft.
In the third and final phase — planned to start within the next four to five years — this additional hangar will be expanded to accommodate 10 narrowbodies.
“Every investment we make in technical infrastructure takes our operational strength one step further. Our aircraft maintenance centre investment at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport is a strategic milestone in Pegasus’ sustainable growth journey,” said Pegasus Airlines CEO Guliz Ozturk.
“Our new hangars will not only enable us to manage the maintenance needs of our growing fleet more effectively, but also accelerate our transformation focused on digitalisation and efficiency.”
