Stansted to Doha

Seemingly not to be outdone by Wizz Air who have announced a route from Budapest to Dubai (and with connections from Luton see BTN 8 April) Turkish airline Pegasus is to introduce a three times per week service starting 16 June from Sabiha Gokcen Airport on the Asian side of Istanbul to Doha.  This will link to its twice daily Stansted operation.  Passengers checking in at the north London airport will collect their luggage at the final destination.

One of Europe's fastest growing airlines, Pegasus now flies to 71 destinations in 29 countries, with Doha bringing the number of its international routes to 42.  It was originally founded in 1989 and now has a fleet of over 40 Boeing 737-800s, due to be replaced from 2015 onwards by 75 Airbus A320neo series.  It offers a low-cost one class operation and also offers the only connection from the UK to North Cyprus. www.flypgs.com
