AirAsia Group and Pegasus Airlines have launched a codeshare partnership.
AirAsia X flight numbers will be added to five Pegasus Airlines-operated routes from Istanbul/Sabiha Gokcen to London/Stansted, Moscow/Vnukovo, Ankara/Esenboga, Zurich, and Athens. Through baggage services will also be available, allowing passengers to transfer without collecting their luggage at the connecting airport.
AirAsia X will increase its Kuala Lumpur–Istanbul/Sabiha Gokcen service from four to seven weekly round trips by February 2027. Going forward, the two airlines will gradually expand their codeshare to more than 100 routes connecting Asia and Europe.
Bo Lingam, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of AirAsia Group, commented, “This is an important milestone in our 25th anniversary year and marks the next chapter in our evolution from a leading ASEAN low-cost carrier into a truly global travel network.” Guliz Ozturk, CEO of Pegasus Airlines, said, “Istanbul/Sabiha Gokcen is a natural connection point between Europe and Asia.”
To commemorate the partnership, special fares are available from 799 Malaysian ringgit from Kuala Lumpur, from US$299 from London/Stansted, and from US$199 from the other four European cities. The sales period is from September 2 through 6. The travel period is through March 27, 2027.
