Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (ISG), the second busiest airport in Turkey and the ninth busiest airport in Europe, launched direct flights to Dublin, the capital of Ireland, with Pegasus Airlines on 30 October. Sabiha Gökçen Airport continues to expand our country's international airline network by strengthening Istanbul's international connections with a total of five new routes opened in October.

Dublin, the fifth new international route opened from Sabiha Gökçen in October, also facilitated flights from Istanbul to North America with the possibility of connecting flights.

Starting from 30 October, Pegasus Airlines will operate two weekly direct flights from ISG to Dublin on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Dublin, the fascinating capital of Ireland, attracts attention with its historical and touristic richness as well as its large green areas and the hospitality of its people. Having the title of ‘City of Literature’ by UNESCO, Dublin stands out as a deep-rooted cultural centre where leading names of world literature such as James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats and Samuel Beckett were born and raised. Dublin continues to attract the attention of travellers in search of cultural travel all year round with literary events and festivals.

Pegasus Airlines' Dublin route makes travelling to Ireland easier and access to the USA and Canada more convenient. From Dublin, which has strong connections to North America, major North American cities such as New York, Boston, Chicago and Toronto can be reached easily.

ISG CEO Alp Er Tunga Ersoy emphasised that with the new routes, they are strengthening Turkey's international air connections day by day, "We are proud to introduce a total of five new routes to Istanbul in October with the inauguration of the Dublin route. We believe that the new Dublin route will both strengthen our relationship with Ireland and increase our interaction with this region by facilitating travel to North American cities. As ISG, we connect a total of 140 destinations, including 38 domestic routes and 102 international routes, in 51 countries with Istanbul, supporting trade and tourism. I wish that our new route will be beneficial for our country and all our guests.
