 Pegasus Airlines has launched direct flights
between Ankara Esenboğa Airport (ESB) in Türkiye and Lisbon’s
Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) in Portugal.

“The Ankara-Lisbon flights are not just between
two cities but between two capitals. I´m certain both countries
will get to know each other much better thanks to this new
connection. Tourism and trade will benefit greatly, but in the
end, it is these human contacts that will count and last into the
future,” said João Macedo, Deputy Head of Mission of the Embassy
of Portugal. “As an airline that is over 30 years old and still
expanding, we wish Pegasus Airlines every success in this venture
and hope that it will continue to grow.”

Pegasus has launched the route with thrice weekly
flights every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Flight PC1741 is scheduled to depart from ESB at
17:45, arriving in Lisbon at 21:00.

From Lisbon, flight PC1742 is timed to leave at
22:00 and arrive in Ankara at 05:00 the following day.

“Pegasus plays a key role in Türkiye’s tourism
potential and figures. With every new route we open, we connect
countries and destinations culturally and economically. Our
Ankara-Lisbon route will help us extend this purpose and role to
Portugal. With the launch of our Ankara-Lisbon route, we’re not
only adding a new destination but also a new country to our
network. With our new route, we’re also connecting the capitals of
both nations,” said Onur Dedeköylü, CCO of Pegasus Airlines “Being
one of the oldest cities in the world, Lisbon attracts leisure and
business visitors for its vibrant culture and excellent
hospitality. Ankara, the Turkish capital, and second most populous
city in Türkiye, is the beating heart of our country as well as a
thriving modern metropolis, rich in history, culture and offering
our wonderful Turkish hospitality. Therefore, we believe we will
serve hundreds of thousands of tourists between Türkiye and
Portugal in the coming years. I would like to express my sincere
gratitude to everyone who has made the opening of this new route
possible, especially to the Turkish and Portuguese Civil Aviation
Authorities.”
