Pegasus Air wants to set up EU branches in Romania, Poland or the Czech Republic

The Turkish airline Pegasus intends to establish a branch in the European Union. The hope is that this will give them better access to the market, as non-EU carriers are currently only allowed to fly between Turkey and destinations in the European Union. With an EU-certified branch, this would change, as even domestic flights within member states would then no longer be a problem. Pegasus sees great growth potential, particularly in the area of ​​holiday flights, and therefore wants to compete with existing providers. To this end, the company intends to establish a subsidiary airline in an EU country. It has not yet been decided where the new company will be established, as Pegasus is leaning towards Romania, Poland and the Czech Republic, according to the company management. This is remarkable because in recent years Lithuania and Malta have emerged as particularly popular locations for new subsidiaries. The Turkish airline is still rather tight-lipped about a possible timetable. It has not yet been decided in which EU country the company will be established. According to local media reports, one argument in favour of Romania is that Pegasus has been having aircraft serviced by a provider in Bucharest for several years. This means that existing cooperations can be built upon.

Passenger numbers: Dortmund on record

Dortmund Airport expects to set a new record in passenger numbers in the current financial year. This was explained by Managing Director Ludger van Bebber during the most recent supervisory board meeting. Since the beginning of the year, stable growth rates have characterized passenger volumes at Dortmund Airport, which peaked in the summer season. In the months from January to October 2023, a total of 2.559.192 passengers used Dortmund Airport - corresponding to cumulative growth of around 17,5 percent compared to the previous year and almost 14 percent compared to the pre-crisis year of 2019. Dortmund Airport is also characterized by a particularly strong recovery rate in a nationwide comparison. Although air traffic across Germany is gradually recovering from the effects of the pandemic, war and inflation, air traffic volumes across Germany between January and September 2023 were still 22,4 percent below the 2019 level. "We are extremely satisfied with the developments in 2023. In view of the positive trend, we will significantly exceed the passenger forecast of 2,6 million travelers set at the beginning of the year," summarizes Airport CEO Ludger van Bebber. For the full year 2023, Dortmund Airport is now expecting a passenger volume of 2,9 million travelers. "At the end of November, we were able to set a new passenger record with a total of 2.726.145 passengers and surpass the record from the full year 2019 (2.719.563 passengers)," continued van Bebber. This makes 2023 the year with the highest passenger volume in the history of Dortmund Airport. The growth rates are significantly influenced by new connections, frequency increases and the general orientation of the airport.
