Pegasus Airlines

Pegasus are adding scheduled flights to Manchester this year, instead of just chartered flights to Antalya for Thomas Cook.

New flights begin May 18th and operate to Dalaman. Onward connections to Istanbul SAW are available on their website too. Friday flight available via GDS but not on their main site yet.

PC5173 DLM 0445 MAN 0725
PC5174 MAN 0805 DLM 1420

Fridays

PC5173 DLM 0700 MAN 0940
PC5174 MAN 1030 DLM 1645

Mondays

Both flights use B737-800.

Pegasus were quoted as saying they were looking at LBA/LPL/MAN for scheduled flights to Istanbul. While not quite direct to Istanbul, MAN must be the front runner for these flights now.

The flights in the above post operate again in summer 2016.

As well as the proposed daily Istanbul Sabhia Ghoken, Pegasus have now loaded a direct flight to Bodrum on their website too.

PC5243 BJV 1630 MAN 1900
PC5234 MAN 1940 BJV 0145

Monday's from 30th May.

Looks like Pegasus are finally getting round to loading Istanbul Sabhia Ghoken to Manchester flights.

Connections via Bodrum and Dalaman have temporarily been taken off sale, and now all other days around the flights now show 'lowest price' instead of 'no flights available':

It looks like SAW won't happening at least this year.

Seats to SAW are now back on sale via DLM and BJV and saying no flights for other days.

 

[User001]

It's still coming Comet.

Slots have only just been put in for SAW. Will be daily from 1st July. Official announcement in Feb.

Exactly the same thing happened with LGW last year.

 

[User001]

Pegasus will not run the 2nd weekly flight to Dalaman this year.

The Friday flight had been chartered by Jewel in the crown holidays, who have now gone into administration.

They will still operate the Monday Bodrum and Dalaman flights, and still intend to launch daily flights to SAW on 1st July, flight arrives 1120 and departs 1210.

I think companies are struggling to sell holidays to Turkey this year because of Turkey's proximity to Syria and the associated migrant crisis.

Did MAN-SAW ever operate?

Bodrum won't operate with Pegasus this year, with just the 1 weekly flight to Dalaman.

PC5173 DLM 0605 MAN 0840 1
PC1574 MAN 0290 DLM 1535 1

Following on from ethanegcc's post from 2017 it seems that Pegasus are once again sniffing at Manchester for a scheduled service as follows:

Pegasus (PC) – PC9910/1 new proposed daily SAW (Sabiha Gokcen) with B737-800 1130/1210z eff.31Mar.

 

[Scottie Dog]

The previously reported SAW service has now been delayed until 1st June.

SAW-MAN now bookable on their website from July 1st, operating 5x weekly (ex Thu/Fri).

SAW 09:30 MAN 11:55
MAN 12:40 SAW 18:50
