Low-cost Turkish carrier Pegasus Airlines now operates between Birmingham Airport (BHX) in the UK and Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) three times a week - on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays - with one-way fares from Birmingham starting at GBP39.99. 
Pegasus is actively seeking to decarbonise its operations in line with its commitment to IATA’s Net Zero by 2050 pledge and global imperatives to protect the planet.

The airline operates one of the most modern fleets in Europe, with an average plane age of 4.6 years as of September 2023.
These ambitions are mirrored by BHX, which is aiming to become a carbon net zero airport by 2033 by implementing low-carbon alternatives in its operation. 
 
A project is currently under way to install 12,000 solar panels across BHX’s northeast boundary. By May 2024 the green power this installation produces will cover 20 per cent of BHX’s electricity requirement.

Nick Barton, ceo of BHX, said: “Customers in our region now have even greater options for travelling to Türkey and beyond. I have no doubt these new services will be very popular with sun-seekers, pilgrims, business travellers and people going to see family both in Türkey and across the network of destinations offered by Pegasus covering Asia, Europe and Africa.”
