    Any reason they aren't flying to Ljubljana? I'm sure there is demand?

      Bilateral agreements are a major issue for Pegasus on many European markets. The EU does not have a single bilateral with Turkey so each country has an individual one. The Slovenia-Turkey agreement has not been revised and most likely designates only Adria and Turkish as operating carriers on scheduled flights. It does not help that the Turkish state is not a big fan of Pegasus and tries to make their life very difficult.

      Now when AJet is separate from Turkish it cannot. Bilateral agreement says Turkish and Adria, so only those airlines until agreement is revised. Once it is revised, AJet will most likely gain access to market, and Pegasus as a counter airlines because there is no Adria anymore.

      Turks with special green passports (university professors, doctors, scientists, politicians that don't have a diplomatic passport etc.) can visit the EU visa-free and millions of people have such passports. Many Turks also have EU citizenships.

      On top of that, many Turks are working in Croatia with work permits and there are quite a few of construction companies doing work here. A Turkish company won a 210m Euro tender in Zagreb just recently.

      I think it's not just Croats and Turks. You can connect at this airport and fly to many destinations. I for example search for a flight at the end of August from Zagreb to Beirut and Pegasus is also an option. I will see when buying the ticket what the most suitable option for me is.

      I think Pegasus is used most heavily by migrant workers in Croatia.

      Probably local Croats who work in the Turkish tourism industry in Antalya among other destinations
