As part of its growth plan, Pegasus Airlines has placed an order for approximately 200 new aircraft.
Onur Dedeköylü, Chief Commercial Officer of Pegasus Airlines: “We are proud to partner with Chelsea FC, one of the most recognised and followed teams in the world of sport, with a truly global fanbase that mirrors our own international reach. The United Kingdom is also an important market for us, with services to five destinations and further growth planned. This partnership brings together two brands driven by ambition, energy and connection, and we look forward to working with Chelsea FC to create special campaigns and meaningful experiences for supporters and travellers alike."
