It started as an LCC with the Crane PSS in 2005 carrying fewer than 500,000 passengers a year. We have introduced GDS and interline connections to its business, in addition to bundled fare offerings while preserving the low-cost structure. Pegasus is an early adopter of revenue-based loyalty schemes using our PSS embedded loyalty solution. The airline now more than 22 million passengers per year after 10 years of growth.”
