Mehmet Nane, Chairman of Pegasus Airlines, spoke at the World Airport Experience Summit in Istanbul, where he discussed the state of Turkish civil aviation and the impact of regional conflicts on the industry. He stated that Turkey's civil aviation sector has entered the top 10 globally, attributing this to government decisions made in 2003, and noted that Turkish airports such as IGA, Sabiha Gökçen, and Antalya rank among the top 10 in Europe. Nane also addressed the effects of rising fuel prices, saying that while oil increased by around 30% in the first six months of the year, jet fuel costs rose by approximately 70% due to an increase in the conversion ratio from crude oil to jet fuel. He reported that Pegasus saw a 26% increase in sales during this period, though fuel costs rose more, and he noted that ticket prices had not yet reflected these cost increases due to reduced demand. Nane also discussed Pegasus's fuel hedging strategy, stating that the company hedges 62% of its fuel at fixed prices, compared to a global average of around 50%. He mentioned that the company would consider fuel prices, exchange rates, and parities when preparing its next budget. Looking ahead to his second term as Chairman of the International Air Transport Association Board in 2027, Nane identified political stability, environmental issues, and the timely delivery of aircraft and spare parts as the three main priorities he plans to focus on.
