Pegasus Airlines has signed an agreement with CFM International for up to 300 LEAP-1B engines to power its future Boeing 737-10 fleet. This deal, which includes spare engines and a long-term maintenance agreement, aligns with Pegasus’ strategy to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. The engines will support aircraft deliveries under Pegasus Airlines’ largest aircraft order to date, announced in December 2024.
The LEAP-1B engines are expected to significantly contribute to Pegasus’ 2030 CO₂ reduction target and the aviation industry's 2050 net-zero CO₂ emissions goal. Pegasus Airlines CEO, Güliz Öztürk, expressed satisfaction with the LEAP engine family, stating, “We have been extremely pleased with the operation of the LEAP engine family and look forward to bringing the same performance and stability to our Boeing 737-10 fleet.”
CFM International CEO, Gaël Méheust, highlighted the importance of the agreement, noting, “This agreement marks a significant expansion in our very long and successful relationship with Pegasus.”
Pegasus Airlines, which became the world’s first LEAP engine operator in 2016, continues to expand its fleet with the latest generation of aircraft powered by LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines. With an average fleet age of 4.9 years, Pegasus maintains one of the youngest fleets globally.
The LEAP engines, known for their advanced technologies, offer 15% more fuel efficiency and 15% lower carbon emissions compared to previous models, supporting Pegasus’ commitment to sustainability and operational excellence.
