The carrier already operated its own check-in, baggage and boarding services, but will now have baggage loading and unloading, transfers between the terminal and aircraft, interior and exterior aircraft cleaning, cargo, de-icing, chute and all related services directly operated by its own staff.
 
“As part of the project, we have created 1000 new jobs. With the addition of our new personnel Pegasus now has 5378 employees as of the end of the first quarter of 2016. We have selected the newest and most advanced technological equipment to run our ground service operations meticulously and have invested 20 million Euros in doing so,” said CEO Mehmet T. Nane.
 
The majority of the carrier’s operations are run from Sabiha Gokcen Airport, and it operates 200 take-offs and landings at its hub.
