First Pegasus plane landed at Tuzla International Airport - Halilagić: A long-cherished dream fulfilled!

(Patria) - The first plane of the Turkish airline Pegasus landed today at Tuzla International Airport, officially establishing cooperation.

The plane from Istanbul with passengers landed at 7:30 AM, and the route is planned to be operational once a week.

"This is a long-cherished dream that has been fulfilled today. By allocating funds for infrastructure projects, we have shown how much we care about the airport, and what follows are additional funds for subsidizing flights, which are necessary to establish them, especially for routes to cities in Western Europe," said Irfan Halilagić, Prime Minister of Tuzla Canton.

Cooperation was established at the beginning of June when representatives of the Government of Tuzla Canton visited Turkey.

Through this cooperation, flights on the Istanbul-Tuzla-Istanbul route were agreed upon, which will be carried out every Saturday until October.

Turkish delegations, including representatives of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, also attended the first flight.

"By launching these flights, we believe that these connections will deepen and continue on an upward trajectory. I especially hope that these flights will also contribute to the economic and trade development of this region," stated Enver Iskurt, Deputy Minister of Transport and Infrastructure of Turkey.

In addition to Pegasus, Tuzla International Airport has also established cooperation with the Turkish low-cost airline aJet, which will also fly to Istanbul from this autumn, and to Antalya from next year.
