Pegasus Airlines is set to further strengthen its presence in the Middle East with the launch of a new scheduled service to the United Arab Emirates. Starting 19 January 2026, the Turkish low-cost carrier will inaugurate a direct route between Antalya (AYT) and Abu Dhabi (AUH).
The new service will operate twice weekly, providing additional travel options between Turkey’s Mediterranean coast and the UAE capital. Flights will be operated with Airbus A320 aircraft, in line with Pegasus Airlines’ narrowbody fleet strategy.
Scheduled Flight Details
- PC5872 – Antalya (AYT) 23:05 → Abu Dhabi (AUH) 04:10+1
- PC5873 – Abu Dhabi (AUH) 05:25 → Antalya (AYT) 08:15
The route is expected to cater to both leisure and visiting friends and relatives (VFR) traffic, linking one of Turkey’s leading tourism hubs with a rapidly growing Middle Eastern destination. Abu Dhabi’s expanding connectivity and Antalya’s strong seasonal demand make the new service a strategic addition to Pegasus Airlines’ international network.
