Pegasus Airlines has adjusted frequencies during the ongoing summer season, with services from Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Airport to Zagreb, Ljubljana and Pristina seeing slight reductions over the next two months, while Skopje and Sarajevo are set for increases. The revised schedule currently mainly affects May and June.
The low cost carrier plans to trim Zagreb operations by one weekly flight from its original schedule, maintaining three weekly services until June 22. As a result, the number of flights in May will match last year’s levels, while June will see one fewer service. Similarly, in Ljubljana, operations will be reduced from the planned three weekly flights to two weekly from May 11 until June 22. Further adjustments remain possible. The carrier is making more substantial cuts in Pristina. During June, it will reduce frequencies from Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen from fourteen weekly flights to ten. It will, however, continue to operate four weekly services between Antalya and Pristina, matching last year’s levels.
In Skopje, Pegasus will add one additional weekly rotation on the Istanbul service, bringing the total to fifteen weekly flights through the end of the summer season in late October. This represents one extra weekly service compared to last year. These flights will complement daily operations from Izmir and four weekly services from Antalya. In Sarajevo, the airline is adding two extra weekly flights from Istanbul compared to its original plan, for a total of fifteen weekly services from July through the end of the summer season. Despite the increase, frequencies will match last year’s levels, as they were initially scheduled to be reduced. The Istanbul - Sarajevo service complements four weekly flights from Antalya to Bosnia and Herzegovina’s capital.
Does anyone know how the new SAW route is performing for Ljubljana?
ReplyDeleteWell they just reduced it if you read the text.
DeleteWhen I have flown it, the LF was 93%.
DeleteLast week there was just a few seats left when i was flying. But some Italian told me that he booked RT for 120€ one week before. I guess YF is not good
DeleteCuts every day
ReplyDeleteNije dobro
Delete@13.00 somewhere i know this :)
DeleteAnother day, another set of cancellations
ReplyDeletePristina losing four weekly Istanbul flights in June is not insignificant.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if these changes are linked to aircraft utilisation issues and fuel costs rather than demand. Pegasus seems to be tweaking schedules week by week lately.
ReplyDeleteshifting capacity toward markets with stronger yields
DeleteOr perhaps Pegasus sees more transfer demand over Sabiha from Bosnia.
DeleteOr maybe yields are forcing them to focus on their main hub.
Delete@11.16 makes zero sense what youre saying.
DeleteOf course it does. Read it once again, this time slower.
Deletethey are focusing all the time on their main hub ...
DeleteGood to see Skopje continuing to grow. Fifteen weekly Istanbul flights plus Izmir and Antalya is becoming a very solid Pegasus operation.
ReplyDeletePegasus used to get quite a few transfers from the region to the Middle East. Obviously that will have an impact.
ReplyDeleteZagreb and LJU only losing one weekly frequency is hardly dramatic
ReplyDeleteYes but you should add the TK cuts to these ones. Then it's not insignificant.
DeleteI would not be surprised if more adjustments follow.
ReplyDeletePegasus has been expanding aggressively in the Balkans, so some tactical trimming is normal. The bigger picture still looks like growth, especially in North Macedonia and Bosnia.
ReplyDeletePegasus is also running two weekly charters from SKP to Adana-Cukurova
ReplyDeleteCukurova is becoming the it place to be so it makes sense.
DeleteDescribing Çukurova as 'the it place' is a very long streach. But its true that this region of the Adana province is slated for tourist growth. But far from popular amongst europeans yet.
Deletemakes zero sence to me as well. These charters are exclusive for incoming turkish tourists on circle routes through the Balkans
Deletewhy are they so shy about 2 weekly summer seasonal to OHD?
ReplyDeleteDoing 15pw to SJJ, but won't launch 2pw to OMO, even though Turkish tourists visit Mostar and Herzegovina in massive numbers, and people from Sarajevo aren't the only ones in Bosnia and Herzegovina who go to Istanbul and Türkiye.
ReplyDeleteWhy Pegasus don't boosting Tuzla?
