Our Company's management organization chart as of December 31, 2025, is provided in Section 1/F of this Report.
D- INFORMATION ON BUSINESS ACTIVITIESWe are a globally leading low-cost airline based in Türkiye. We operated charter flights since 1990. Following our acquisition by Esas at the beginning of 2005, we changed our business model, introducing a low-cost network carrier model for the first time and focused on providing affordable and on-time air travel service with a young fleet.
As a result of the successful implementation of this low-cost strategy, we experienced rapid expansion of our operations both in domestic and international routes. Between 2009 and 2019, our cumulative average annual passenger growth reached 18%, significantly outpacing the 9% annual average growth recorded by the Turkish market. The international travel restrictions introduced due to COVID pandemic negatively affected the demand through 2020 and 2021. Parallel to the gradual easing in restrictions starting 2022, we recovered back our capacity and recorded 17% CAGR in number of passengers in the 2022-2025 period, outpacing the 11% CAGR realized in the total Turkish market. We operate a growing young and modern fleet of 127 aircraft with 5.13 average aircraft age as of December 31, 2025.
We provide high-frequency services on short- and medium-haul, point-to-point, and transit routes on its domestic and international network primarily from our main hub in Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport. As of December 31, 2025, we offered scheduled passenger services on 39 domestic routes in Türkiye and 119 international routes to European (including North Cyprus), CIS, Middle Eastern and African destinations, serving a flight network covering 158 destinations in 55 different countries.
Our business model is based on a strong focus on efficient operations and cost control, and revenue generation through various services ancillary to the core air passenger services. In 2025, our CASK, non-fuel was recorded as €c2.68, while revenue recorded from ancillary services constituted 37% of total revenue for the period. In 2024, we continued to derive revenue from other services, primarily consisting of cargo services and a relatively low volume of charter and split charter flights for tour operators, which represented 1% of total revenue for the period.
We rank among the best performers in the airline industry globally on the cost efficiency and operating profitability fronts. In 2019 which is used as a benchmark year for the industry for demonstrating the "last normal year before COVID pandemic", we stood out among the global airlines with a CASK non-fuel figure of €c2.06 and an EBITDA margin of 33.3%. We repeated our performance in the post-COVID era, from 2022 to 2025 (CASK non-fuel - 2022: €c2.18, 2023: €c2.26, 2024: €c2.55 2025: €c2.68. EBITDA margin - 2022: 34.1%, 2023: 31.4%, 2024:
28.4%, 2025: 24.6%).
E- INFORMATION ON PRIVILEGED SHARESWe do not have any privileged shares. Therefore, there are no voting privileges attached to Pegasus Airlines shares or any preference in respect of the nomination of Board members or the allocation of any distribution or payment to be made from Company profits.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
We are dedicated to allocating resources for in-house aviation technology developments and research & development activities.
The activities carried out by the Performance and Navigation Department, as part of our Flight Operations Department, in 2025 have been grouped under the headings of effective operational monitoring and communication, flight performance and safety, and cost control.
A new application called EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) Lite, which is a different version of the EFB Mobile previously provided to our cockpit crews, was developed and made available by the end of the year for use by cabin crew, technical staff, and ground handling personnel. EFB Lite was developed to provide instant support, enable effective intervention in disruptions, support on-time departures, and reduce operational costs through timely access to accurate information in operational processes and fast digital communication. The application, which was specifically designed in line with the needs of cabin crews, operational staff, and technicians, has been developed to run on iOS and Android compatible mobile devices. Operational units can live track the flights assigned to them with all necessary technical information and documentation via this application and can also communicate with their teams through the same platform.
12
An In-Flight Performance module has been added to EFB tablets as a new analysis module. This module enables fast and accurate calculation of flight performance during climb, descent, and holding phases. With this application, pilots can evaluate optimum level selection and step climb / step descent options, thereby ensuring effective fuel management during the in-flight phase.
Within the scope of EASA's (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) updated Low Visibility Operations regulation, a development was implemented in the EFB database for airport suitability assessments and was integrated with aircraft EFBs. In addition, through further enhancements made on aircraft EFBs, data obtained from low visibility operations can be monitored and reported, enabling the necessary crew, aircraft, and airport evaluations for such operations. This development makes a significant contribution to flight safety.
Also, within the scope of flight safety, an infrastructure enhancement was implemented on aircraft EFBs for evaluating the suitability of alternate airports that may be used along the routes specified in flight plans. In summary, selected Adequate Airports, determined by considering the range an aircraft can fly under certain conditions and rules, can now be tracked and displayed on the EFB.
For the Cost Control Department, fuel invoice validation processes were improved by enabling direct access to fuel receipts for the relevant flights through a development made on the Mobile EFB. With this application, as soon as the pilot receives the fuel receipt, they can capture an image of the receipt with a single button via the Mobile EFB and send it to the relevant reporting and cost control systems.
In 2025, we repositioned our technology and digitalization efforts with the aim of transforming our technology vision into a scalable and sustainable operating model. Our focus was to deepen these capabilities through a data- and AI-driven decision support layer, and to turn technology into a strategic lever that delivers tangible and measurable value across revenue, cost, operations, and safety-rather than serving solely as a tool to enhance user experience.
In line with this approach, we adopted a model that digitalizes processes end-to-end, reduces manual steps, enables real-time visibility, and strengthens a data-driven decision-making culture across the organization. We carried out integration-, automation-, and optimization-focused initiatives across a wide scope-from passenger touchpoints to operational planning, and from financial processes to maintenance and technical operations.
At the same time, we matured our governance mechanisms to ensure the safe, ethical, and auditable use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) at enterprise scale. 2025 was a year in which technology became a holistic transformation enabler across the Company-creating strategic value and measurable impact.
Key innovations in Technology and Innovation are summarized below:
Through the Financial Segmentation project, we created a hybrid financial segmentation classification by analyzing-via an AI-supported model-the purchase frequency of tickets and ancillary services, average basket value, and historical payment trends within the last three years. We supported the financial segment output with additional enhancements that would improve passenger experience and reduce friction in payments; we reduced the friction rate by approximately 40% and increased the payment success rate by 4%.
13
In line with our passenger-centric approach, the financial segment data that we developed with up-to-date technologies and made easily accessible played a critical role as a scalable decision support layer in our company's technological and operational processes.
The Paystation project aimed to enable passengers to experience fast and reliable payment at every payment point within the station, such as Sales Offices, Check-in Counters, and Boarding Gates. We designed and deployed on-site the new processes integrated into our operations at the Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport by considering terminal staff usage habits and the operational intensity of the sales area. In addition to facilitating staff work, we aimed to contribute positively to reconciliation processes by offering different exchange rate options, systematizing cash payments, preventing documentation weaknesses, and creating accounting records.
With the Auto Fare development program we launched, we delivered a significant improvement in the fare structure; we eliminated the need for manual calculation by enabling the system to automatically calculate the base fare and all fare components over the total fare. We strengthened revenue protection and control over pricing strategies through enhancements for ticket change (reissue) and automatic fee transfer to GDS channels. This holistic structure delivered sustainable and measurable value to our company in terms of revenue management and pricing capability.
In line with IATA's modern airline retailing approach, we migrated to version 24.1 on the OOMS NDC infrastructure, which makes it possible to manage flights and ancillary services under a single order by decoupling airlines from traditional legacy messages; we enabled integration with online travel agencies and prepared the fast-track product sales infrastructure via NDC. At the same time, with this transition, we paved the way for reducing GDS costs by managing GDSs through NDC messages.
To enhance our passengers' digital experience, we developed the Live Activity feature-previously built for iOS devices in our mobile app - for our Android users as well. This enabled Android users to view real-time flight information, departure time, gate number, gate changes, delays, terminal information, boarding notifications, and baggage details from the lock screen starting 3 hours before their flight. With Live Activity, our passengers accessed critical updates instantly throughout their journey and experienced a seamless and smooth journey.
To support our passengers with accurate and timely information throughout their journey, we launched the Timeline feature so they can track the sequential steps and statuses they will follow on a timeline. With this feature, we reduced potential uncertainties throughout the process and ensured accurate and timely updates at all stages-from pre-flight to post-flight completion.
In parallel with developments in AI in shopping and search, we went live with the infrastructure that enables Pegasus to communicate directly via Large Language Models and allows our users to reach Pegasus through this channel as well. In this way, we took an initial important step toward future readiness by making our infrastructure ready for the representation of the shopping experience on Large Language Models, which we expect to begin in the near future.
14
We implemented improvements in customer service processes with a focus on digitalization and automation. By developing AI-supported digital assistant and customer support solutions, we ensured that passengers received faster and more effective support across different touchpoints. We strengthened live agent processes and increased service quality and accessibility.
We restructured passenger communication processes on a next-generation communication infrastructure to provide more consistent and timely updates. We implemented informative and experience-supporting digital communications for different passenger segments based on operational needs. Within this scope, we applied content that enriches passenger experience and special communication scenarios.
We updated the technological infrastructure used in marketing and campaign processes and built a data-driven and automation-supported structure. By improving existing analytical models, we enabled campaign and communication processes to be managed more effectively and at scale.
We implement an Image Recognition-based digital solution for onboard sales and catering count processes. We perform the count of loaded catering items automatically via captured photos. Through this transformation, we reduced teams' operational workload; we digitalized counting and reconciliation processes end-to-end; and we increased process speed and data accuracy.
We carried out infrastructure work to support baggage management processes end-to-end and increase traceability. While enabling baggage tracking via handheld terminals on the ramp, we also ensured system compatibility with the Apple AirTag location-sharing infrastructure. This allowed our passengers with an AirTag in their baggage to share the device's location information with operational teams; by shortening resolution time in lost/delayed baggage cases, we increased operational efficiency and passenger satisfaction.
To provide our passengers with accurate, timely, and complete information, we continued efforts to ensure centralized and consistent provision of operational data for the airports we operate. Within this scope, we prepared the technical infrastructure required to obtain gate information assigned to flights at 36 outstations systemically, creating a critical data source for passenger information and operational visibility.
In parallel with digitalization efforts in passenger operations, we also took significant steps within the scope of regulatory compliance. In this context, we rolled out across all check-in channels the system that enables identity verification for Turkish citizens during the check-in process.
We strengthened our flight monitoring capabilities for real-time tracking and management of flight operations. By consolidating operational data from different sources on a single platform, we provided more holistic and real-time visibility into flights. Thanks to the early warning mechanisms we established, we were able to take proactive actions. Through this approach, we increased decision-making speed and operational efficiency.
15
In line with our growing number of flights and crew, we started planning and enabling our flight crews' annual leave requests through optimization. We tracked the process with an optimization tool; we managed the process easily by considering operational and crew needs so that existing annual leave balances could also be utilized.
We reviewed the shuttle and taxi processes used by our flight crews to reach their duties or homes, considering the needs of both operations and our crews. We designed a digital and traceable process that moves away from manual work and prevents unnecessary usage.
We designed a chat module to make real-time and easy communication between our flight crews and our Crew Assignment department on the day of operation, and we supported synchronized communication. In addition, with the Request Management system, we enabled them to submit requests outside the day of operation through the system, and enabled relevant departments to manage those requests.
By adding new features to our crew planning systems, we continued to make them more compatible with our planning and optimization processes. We enabled our GENDEC (General Declaration) reports to be generated automatically by the system and sent to relevant airports via digital channels. Thus, we made the process end-to-end digital, fast, and error-free.
We continued to add new features to the mobile applications used by our flight crews. To contribute to flight safety, we improved the potential risk prediction process in our pilots' flights and shared more detailed information with relevant teams. Within the scope of easy tracking and assignment of individuals who are fit to fly when operational needs arise, we added a function to report fitness-for-duty status. We enabled our cabin crews to receive notifications during the security checks process; we also made it possible to display and report timeout warnings.
Within the scope of flight crew training planning, we continued to improve our optimization application. We enabled weekend classes to be planned and ensured that overseas holidays could be considered in planning. We also launched a new mobile application within the scope of cockpit training and process tracking. With the application, we enabled our instructor pilots to access digitally the forms they need during simulator training and to transmit their inputs and comments in a way that also feeds relevant systems and processes. Thus, we took a major step within the scope of evidence-based training and established the system infrastructure to track pilot assessments.
To manage recruitment processes more efficiently, reach the right candidate quickly, and measure and improve candidate experience, we renewed the Candidate Tracking and Onboarding System end-to-end with up-to-date technology and AI support.
To enable employees within Pegasus to benefit in their daily work, we developed the Corporate AI Portal to provide access to AI bots through a single platform.
Through persona-based authorization, we ensured the automatic presentation
of content and AI tools suitable for one's own role and function.
16
We integrated our Human Resources virtual assistant HERO with the application where company HR procedures are maintained, in order to enable employees to access broader information faster and to make processes more efficient by reducing workload in relevant departments.
We developed Corporate GPT, enabling all employees at Pegasus to perform activities such as document analysis, summarization, content generation, data analysis, and decision support by using corporate data securely.
We developed DocFinder, a document comparison bot that enables units with heavy document traffic-such as Legal, Fleet, and Procurement-to quickly compare across thousands of documents and automatically see differences between different versions.
We developed the Emergency Information Collection application, which enables rapid access to employees via notifications through our Corporate Mobile Application and IVR calls during crises and collects status notifications. In this way, relevant teams monitored employees' responses in real time.
With the Swift project, we enabled the company's finance operations to become more centralized, traceable, and controllable; we were able to track all bank account movements instantly from a single platform; and we managed account movements, money transfer flows, and banking integrations from a single screen.
We carried out work in the Agentic AI domain:
With the "I Accountant" application, we ensured that all invoices received by our company were fully automatically parsed, verified, and routed to accounting systems by AI. The system analyzed invoice contents without the need for human intervention, provided accurate and fast data flow to finance applications, eliminated the need for manual control, and created a significant reduction in the operational workload of accounting teams.
With the Collection AI application, we ensured that payment and balance notifications sent by agencies via email were fully read, verified, classified, and automatically answered by AI. The AI produced professional responses suitable for the correct scenario by interpreting the agency email and the receipt and MCO/INV attachments, without requiring human intervention.
With Agentic AI, we enabled the cabin crew to communicate with hotels for reservation processes based on data coming from Crew Planning System. We also established a structure that enables invoices received from hotels to be compared with the Crew Planning System on a per-person basis.
We made Smart MCC available to our MCC team and digitalized the technical support flows from outstations that we previously managed manually via email, phone, etc. We also quickly scored technical support organizations at outstations and forwarded them to our Technical Services Procurement department. In this way, we prevented human-factor-related risks, increased speed for our MCC department, and ensured verification of agreements with external companies we receive services from. In addition, we digitalized the creation of Fleet Current and Handover forms, which also required manual effort.
17
Digitalizing these processes was of great importance to track our fleet's current status instantly. In the Smart MCC application, we created a map for live aircraft tracking for the first time in our company. In this way, we used location data received from our fleet on the map and shared it with requested teams.
We consolidated under one roof information of Technical Group Directorate personnel-data that were stored in local accounts on individuals' computers and located across different teams or different digital environments-and we developed an application to enable managers to run processes related to personnel.
The information we tracked covered many processes we run in Technical, such as Administrative appreciation & discipline, Duty, Language, Professional Training, Passport & Visa, Experience, Suggestion Evaluation, ODS, Query, KPI/SPI, Premium, Düf Records, Meda Meetings & Just Culture forms, PPE records, etc.; and we migrated these processes to digital and brought them under one roof.
We went live with Smart Technic applications with full functionality. Our company successfully implemented digital transformation in aircraft maintenance and operational processes and significantly increased the productivity of technicians, cabin chiefs, and cockpit crew.
We migrated six more onboard logbooks to digital. While this digital transformation increased operational efficiency, it also reinforced flight continuity and safety. All these improvements minimized time loss in our flight operations while creating a faster, more accurate, and safer environment in aircraft maintenance processes.
Also in 2025, we continued PoC studies to achieve operational excellence in Ground Operations and Aircraft Maintenance-Repair-Overhaul (MRO) activities. We enabled recurrent defects to be reported with AI support; we made it possible for technicians to access technical information quickly and accurately with AI support.
Within the scope of efforts to develop analytics and self-service capabilities in our company, we significantly advanced the organization's transformation into a data-driven structure. In this direction, we created the Data Dictionary and Data Catalog; to establish a common data language (Common Data Language) across the organization, we built the necessary infrastructure to manage data from source to analytics in a standard, traceable, and reliable manner. By integrating the "Single Source of Truth" approach into our corporate data architecture, we strengthened data consistency and reliability.
We increased self-service analytics capabilities; through the Data Champions model, we supported data ownership and analytics awareness in business units. By applying a common visual language (Common Visual Language) and strong UI/UX principles in the presentation layer, we improved reporting and analytics standards and enhanced user experience. We also completed the infrastructure work for the "Ask Your Data" solution, which we will roll out within the scope of the Generative BI approach.
As a result of these efforts, we increased the speed and accuracy of decision-making processes, strengthened operational efficiency and strategic alignment; and with the democratization of data access, we increased employees' capability to generate insights and raised the level of analytics competency.
18
In 2025, we significantly advanced efforts to manage AI usage at enterprise scale in a reliable, sustainable, and auditable manner. Within this scope, we brought the AI solutions used across Pegasus into a systematic framework in line with ethical, security, risk, and operational sustainability criteria.
We established the corporate AI Governance model for AI projects; we standardized model lifecycle management, architectural compliance assessments, hallucination risk controls, and model retirement processes. Thus, we created a transparent, traceable governance infrastructure aligned with corporate principles throughout the development and operation of AI systems.
Along with these efforts, we began performing analytical measurements in aviation safety and critical operational areas; we monitored operational excellence indicators regularly and systematically. With this approach, we started efforts to ensure that AI and analytics applications create a more holistic and data-driven impact on flight operations and safety processes.
In this direction, we increased the reliability of AI applications and their alignment with corporate context; we strengthened operational continuity and risk management. In addition, through the governance mechanisms we established, we supported longterm corporate value creation by encouraging responsible AI use across the organization.
In 2024, we had established Pegasus Innovation Lab in Silicon Valley in the United States to maintain our lead in digitalization and technology in the aviation industry. In 2025, within the scope of the Innovation Lab, we engaged with more than 620 startups; we conducted active work on airline use cases with 150 of them; we completed 30 Proof of Concept (PoC) studies; we continued 20 studies; and we launched 7 projects together with our relevant teams at Pegasus headquarters and with partners we selected in Silicon Valley.
In this context, we completed the preparations for Call Center transformation with Voice-AI and launched the project with the solution we reached through the Pegasus Innovation Lab. In this way, we aim to handle incoming call center calls with conversational AI agents.
Flight services were an area with many regulations and documentation; flight crews referred to documents on various topics. To facilitate crews' access to documents and to provide summarized information derived from those documents, we carried out preparations for an AI-based bot initiative within 2025 and launched the PoC study.
The use of AI in aircraft maintenance services was another focus area for us. We held discussions with different companies and carried out PoC studies in areas such as filtering recurring defects and preparing permanent solution plans, and predicting aircraft maintenance intervals. In addition, we conducted more advanced research on using image and video processing technologies in aircraft maintenance operations. We planned for these efforts to continue in 2026 and envisaged tracking those with completed preparations as projects.
19
In Ground Handling as well, we held discussions with different startup companies in areas such as identifying aircraft turnaround times via video processing, predicting delays, processes that enable tracking of services received from overseas terminals, new technologies in baggage drop processes, and services related to using video technology in passenger and baggage counting. We plan for these studies to continue in 2026, focusing more on overseas terminals and baggage, and we aim to launch projects with suitable technologies.
Today, AI has begun to be used in flight ticket searches. To be able to monitor and control the GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) process used to understand search intensity and optimize searches, we met with different companies and put the suitable product into use. As it is a new technology, we continued researching different alternatives. Another topic on the commercial side was the initiative we might call Pegasus' Tone. Under this initiative, we aimed to use the same corporate structure (tone) across all Pegasus communication channels. Our research with different companies enriched the topic. We planned to take action on either procuring a solution from a company or addressing it through in-house integration.
We continued information-sharing sessions with different airlines around the world in 2025. We focused on topics such as emerging Agentic-AI infrastructures and Data Analytics.
We focused on university collaborations as one pillar of the Pegasus Innovation Lab. Together with Berkeley University, we discussed the topic of "Future Air Travel" with MBA students. We generated new insights on biometric and digital transitions and baggage drop capabilities. Another research topic on the academic side was our prediction-based study on flight safety. Domestically, we supported and became a member of the AI Platform formation led by Özyeğin University; and we completed term-project studies with the university on Customer Life Time Value and Churn Analysis.
Pegasus Innovation Lab established direct engagement with global technology companies and developed strategic collaborations that advanced Pegasus' operational and commercial capabilities. We took steps with Apple to enhance the customer experience in lost baggage tracking; conducted exploratory studies with OpenAI on search and generative AI-based API use casesThese engagements did not focus solely on technology procurement; they also supported positioning Pegasus as a design partner in early-stage product development processes.
Within the scope of its strategic investment model, Pegasus Innovation Lab positioned Pegasus not only as a technology user but also as an investor and a value-creating business partner. Through the CVC approach we structured in 2025 and Silicon Valley-based collaborations, we began implementing design partnership, sweat equity, and direct investment models with early-stage ventures. With this model, we aimed to secure early access to critical technologies while also generating financial and strategic value in high-growth potential startups. In 2026, we planned to further systematize this approach and enhance the investment-usage synergy for new technologies.

International Aviation Market
According to IATA's (International Air Transport Association) "Air Passenger Market Analysis" published on January 29, 2026, world total passenger traffic measured in RPK (Revenue Passenger Kilometers) grew by 5.3% YoY in 2025. Industry RPK's had grown by 10.4% in 2024. In Europe, RPK increased by 5,3% YoY, parallel to the market growth, while in Middle East, RPKs were 6.8% higher YoY in 2025. IATA expects the industry RPK to increase by 4.9% in 2026, driven by 4.8% capacity growth (in ASK - Available Seat Kilometer) and 0.1ppt increase in load factor to 83.8% ("Global Outlook for Air Transport - December 2025, published on December 9, 2025).
Turkish Aviation Market
According to the data published by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority (DHMI), the number of total passengers in Türkiye grew by 7% YoY in 2025 following the 8% YoY growth recorded in 2024. As for a breakdown, domestic passengers in Türkiye grew by 7% YoY while international passengers increased by 8% YoY in 2025.
Development of Pegasus Airlines Market Share Since 2005
Following the acquisition by Esas at the beginning of 2005, we changed our business model, introducing a low-cost network carrier model and focused on providing an affordable and on-time air travel service with a young fleet.
As a result of the successful implementation of this low-cost strategy, we experienced rapid expansion of our operations both in domestic and international routes. Between 2009 and 2019, our cumulative average annual passenger growth reached 18%, significantly outpacing the 9% annual average growth recorded by the Turkish market.
However, parallel to the decline in demand and negative impact of the travel restrictions with the COVID-19 pandemic, our total booked passenger number declined by 34% in the two-year period from 2019 to 2021. In the same period, total number of passengers in the overall Turkish market contracted by 38%. In the 2022-2025 period, our booked passenger number grew by 17% on average annually, further outpacing the 11% average annual growth realized in the total Turkish market. The table below indicates Pegasus market share trend in terms of domestic and international scheduled passenger numbers between 2022 and 2025:
