Pegasus Airlines is expanding its service to Uzbekistan with new routes departing from Sabiha Gökçen International Airport in Istanbul. Flights to Bukhara are scheduled to launch on Dec. 14, 2026, followed by Andijan on Dec. 18, 2026, and Termez on March 1, 2027.
Why it matters
The addition of these three cities provides new travel links between Istanbul and Uzbekistan, offering passengers more regional connectivity. This expansion follows the issuance of an operating permit to the airline by the Civil Aviation Agency on Oct. 6, 2026.
Advertised fares for the new routes start at $99 or €89.99 including taxes. Passengers choosing Light fares are restricted to one personal item weighing up to 3 kg with dimensions not exceeding 40 × 30 × 15 cm.
