Turkish budget carrier Pegasus Airlines is launching a new year-round route directly connecting Edinburgh, Scotland with Istanbul, Turkey. The exciting development will allow travellers to fly between the two popular destinations at very affordable fares.

The inaugural flight on the new route is scheduled for June 27, 2024. Flights will operate twice weekly, every Thursday and Sunday. Departures from Istanbul are scheduled for 11:40 am local time, arriving in Edinburgh at 2:25 pm. Return flights leave Edinburgh at 3:30 pm and land in Istanbul at 10:00 pm.

Why the £1 Fare?

To celebrate the new route, Pegasus is offering an amazing introductory deal – a number of one-way seats are available for just £1 plus tax. This special offer is bookable from May 10-16, 2024 for select dates in August and September. After the promotion ends, one-way fares will start from a still very reasonable price.

Modern Aircraft to Service the Route

The flights between Istanbul and Edinburgh Airport will be operated by Pegasus Airlines’ fleet of modern and efficient Airbus A320 and A321neo aircraft. Passengers can expect a comfortable flying experience on these well-equipped narrow-body planes.

Pegasus Continues European Expansion

With a network of 137 destinations, including 35 within Turkiye, Pegasus Airlines continues to expand its low-cost offerings across Europe. “We are delighted to be launching new regular scheduled flights connecting Istanbul and Edinburgh as the summer season starts,” said Onur Dedekoylu, Chief Commercial Officer of Pegasus Airlines. “Pegasus Airlines is proud to connect such vibrant and popular destinations, offering a unique experience to all who fly with us.”

Travellers in Istanbul and Edinburgh can now look forward to an exciting and affordable new way to explore each other’s cities. The £1 introductory fares are not to be missed, but seats are sure to fill up quickly, so booking early is highly recommended.
