Pegasus Airlines has entrusted Lufthansa Technik with the comprehensive base maintenance of its rapidly expanding Airbus A320 family fleet. The recently signed three-year agreement includes over 60 checks on A320ceo, A320neo, and A321neo aircraft for Türkiye’s second-largest airline. All contracted services will be carried out at a dedicated overhaul line at Lufthansa Technik Sofia.

“The newly concluded contract, and the long-term intensification of our cooperation with Lufthansa Technik, gives us flexibility while ensuring our high-quality standards,” said Şerife Akın, Senior Purchasing Director at Pegasus Airlines. “With our dedicated overhaul line at Lufthansa Technik Sofia, we are now optimally positioned for the coming years. This supports our goal of being one of the leading low-cost airlines in the industry, streamlining air travel, and offering affordable fares to our valued customers.”

Marcus Motschenbacher, Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Aircraft Maintenance Services at Lufthansa Technik, added: “We are pleased to offer our customers top-quality service and to contribute to the stability of their flight operations with reliable overhauls. We already enjoy a close and trustful collaboration with Pegasus Airlines, allowing us to respond individually to their needs, and we are honoured to expand our successful business relationship.”

In recent years, this relationship has included areas such as Landing Gear Services and shorter collaborations for Base Maintenance Services. The new contract marks the first-ever multi-year agreement between the two partners in the latter field. Additionally, Pegasus Airlines utilises solutions from Lufthansa Technik’s AVIATAR digital platform to optimise its technical operations.

Beyond Lufthansa Technik Sofia, where the checks for Pegasus will be performed, Lufthansa Technik’s global base maintenance network includes major facilities on three continents, providing comprehensive aircraft checks for a broad range of customers worldwide. Their service portfolio spans C-, IL-, and D-checks on short-, medium-, and long-haul aircraft, as well as modifications and other services.
