First A320neo For Turkey's Pegasus Postponed

July 17, 2016

The first delivery of an Airbus A320neo to Pegasus Airlines has been postponed following the thwarted coup attempt in Turkey.

Pegasus had been scheduled to take delivery of the first A320neo powered by CFM engines on July 19.

"Due to the terrible and unforeseen circumstances in Turkey, we came to a mutual decision with the Pegasus management to postpone the delivery ceremony ‎for the first CFM-powered A320neo," an Airbus spokesman said.

Airbus did not set a new date.
