Double Materiality Assessment · Aviation

Türkiye's leading low-cost carrier completed a GRI and CSRD/ESRS-aligned double materiality assessment grounded in genuine stakeholder input.

Project Summary

Pegasus Airlines is Turkey's leading low-cost carrier, carrying 43.3 million guests to 156 destinations across 54 countries in 2025 from its home base at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen. Since relaunching as a low-cost operator in 2005, the airline has built one of the youngest fleets in commercial aviation — an average age of 5.3 years, the second-youngest fleet globally and the youngest across Turkey and Europe — with next-generation Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft making up 88.4% of the fleet. Pegasus has published a dedicated Sustainability Report and a Sustainability-Linked Finance Framework, and set a 2030 emissions-intensity target of 52.1 grams of CO2 per revenue passenger kilometer, a 20% reduction against its 2019 baseline.
