The new route connects Türkiye’s cultural capital with the UK’s popular southwest hub

Pegasus Airlines continues to expand its flight network this summer by adding a new direct route from Bristol to Istanbul. 

The direct route from Bristol Airport to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport commenced today, on 8 July 2025. The thrice-weekly service departs from Bristol every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, with return flights from Istanbul operating on the same days.

The new route brings opportunities to explore Istanbul, a vibrant city with a unique location straddling the two continents of Europe and Asia and divided by the mighty Bosphorus Strait, whilst also connecting passengers from Bristol via Istanbul to over 150 destinations within Türkiye and beyond across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Asia on the Pegasus Airlines network.

Pegasus flights from Bristol to Istanbul start from £70 one-way including taxes.
