Pegasus Airlines Chief Commercial Officer Guliz Ozturk said: “We are excited to be launching state-of-the-art inflight entertainment across our fleet in partnership with Immfly, adding another dimension to our guests’ travel experience.

Immfly today announced that it has been selected by Pegasus Airlines to equip its entire fleet with in-flight digital services. The partnership will see Immfly deploying its system on Pegasus’ 76 existing aircraft and then later on additional aircraft that it has on order, bringing the total to over 100.

With Pegasus, Immfly will be flying for the first time from Turkey to Russia and the Caucasus, the Middle East, North Africa and Asia. “This partnership is opening a new market to us,” said Jimmy Martínez von Korff, co-founder of Immfly. “Our position is quite strong in Europe – it’s always been our focus since the beginning – but now we’ll have a few flights to the Middle East, North Africa, etc., so we need to prepare this platform for passengers from this region.”

Rollout on the Turkish low-cost carrier’s first aircraft will begin before this summer, and will accelerate as of September, so that all 76 aircraft will be equipped by March 2019, at which point the airline’s new aircraft will be tackled, said Pablo Linz, Immfly’s other co-founder.

The news comes on the heels of another major partnership for Immfly in the low-cost market with easyJet, which sees the digital services company bringing streaming entertainment and digital services to passengers on five aircraft. Tokyo-based e-commerce company Rakuten is the official sponsor and content curator of easyJet’s IFE service, and will continue to support Immfly in its partnership with Pegasus. “Rakuten is helping us secure fresh, high-quality content,” Linz said. “We are growing with them as well, and we are seeing opportunities in other markets.”

Earlier this week, Immfly announced an alliance with Fox Non-Theatrical that would allow passengers to view protected entertainment content via web browser on their personal devices. Using web-based DRM technology, Immfly says that it can “ensure 100% security and protection of content onboard its digital platform.”

Pegasus Airlines saves €135,000 per aircraft per year with Panasonic collaboration

Turkish low-cost airline, Pegasus Airlines, has enjoyed dramatic savings of €135,000 per aircraft, per year thanks to its partnership with Panasonic. The relationship, which has seen Pegasus Airlines’ flight crews equipped with fully rugged Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1 tablets, coupled with Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) software, has resulted in annual savings of €11m thanks to reductions in paper, printing and copying costs as well as the crew’s ability to work in a faster, more dynamic and cost effective manner.

The Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1 is approved for Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) use in the aviation industry. EFB’s are designed to replace paper-based reference materials often found in the pilot's carry-on flight bag, including the aircraft operating manual, flight-crew operating manual and navigational charts. In addition, the EFB can host purpose-built software applications to automate other functions normally conducted by hand, such as performance take-off calculations.

Pegasus Airlines May Launch Ukrainian Subsidiary, Order More A321neos

A Boeing 737 operated by Turkish low-cost carrier Pegasus Airlines flies over the Toulouse area of southern France. 

Turkey’s Pegasus Airlines is considering setting up a subsidiary in Ukraine and may also increase its order for Airbus A321neos, according to Emre Pekesen, sales and network planning director at the low-cost carrier.

Management have held talks with Ukraine’s Infrastructure Ministry in Kiev about the possible joint venture, which would be majority owned by Ukrainian investors and would fly under a Ukrainian operating license. Pegasus already runs one such joint venture, Air Manas, formerly branded Pegasus Asia, in the central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan.

“Ukraine is really an under-served market. Only one carrier is very active, that’s UIA [Ukraine International Airlines] … It’s a huge country, the population is huge, and it’s in the middle of [a region with] expanding GDPs. So it’s an interesting country. We are just monitoring right now. It doesn’t mean that we will definitely open a new base.”

Pekesen said Ukraine is one of several countries on a “shortlist” being drawn up by management. He confirmed that a “mix” of domestic and international routes would be served if the project goes ahead.

However, he cautioned that other low-cost carriers have struggled to gain a foothold in Ukraine – an apparent reference to Ryanair, which abandoned plans to serve the country this year after a row with UIA and Kiev’s Boryspil Airport. He also said that Pegasus’s investment in Air Manas had illustrated how “it’s really very difficult to run a [foreign] company from Turkey”.

Europe 2017/2018 airline capacity outlook: highest winter seat growth in 10 yrs despite bankruptcies

Growth in airline seats from Europe will accelerate to 7.2% in winter 2017/2018, versus 5.7% last winter, according to CAPA analysis of OAG data. This is around 1ppt lower than without Monarch's collapse and Ryanair's reduced growth, but will still be the highest winter growth for 10 years, in spite of other recent airline bankruptcies. Airberlin's closure from 28-Oct-2017 may reduce growth fractionally, but most of its capacity will likely be reallocated, and Alitalia will continue this winter.

Wizz Air and TAP Portugal are the fastest growing European groups, while Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and Finnair are also growing at double digit rates.

Europe to Africa will grow fastest, but there will be above trend growth in every other region from Europe (including intra-Europe), apart from Europe-Middle East, where growth will be close to trend. Only to Latin America will growth be significantly slower than last winter. On intra-Europe, LCC seat growth will be almost three times non LCC growth. On the North Atlantic, above trend growth is being driven by LCCs and other non JV operators. On Europe-Asia Pacific, accelerating growth is mainly the result of Asian airline expansion.

Turkey's Pegasus plans major base at new Istanbul Airport

Turkey’s Pegasus Airlines plans to establish a major base at the new Istanbul airport scheduled to open late next year, helping the discount specialist to attract passengers from the European side of the city where state-owned rival Turkish Airlines currently dominates.

Pegasus is likely to station a “considerable fleet” at the airport after a third runway opens in about 2020, Chief Commercial Officer Guliz Ozturk said in an interview. While the as-yet-unnamed hub will cater to 90 million travelers a year, rising to as many as 150 million, the airline hasn’t until now said it will have a significant presence, suggesting in 2014 that it wasn’t keen to fly there. 

Pegasus currently bases almost 60 aircraft at Istanbul’s secondary Sabiha Gokcen airport on the Asian side of the Bosphorus, where the catchment totals about 8 million people, compared with 10 million on the European side, Ozturk said. It has no planes located at the city’s main Ataturk hub, the home base of Turkish Air, which is set to close once the new facility is fully operational.
