On April 23, 2025, my Pegasus flight from Tehran to Ankara was delayed for 10 hours due to a technical issue. As a direct result of this delay, I missed my 14:00 AJet flight from Ankara to Izmir. Upon arrival, I approached Pegasus staff to explain the situation and seek assistance—but I was met with rudeness, indifference, and zero accountability.
The staff didn’t offer a single solution. They didn’t apologize, nor did they acknowledge our distress. They simply told us to handle it ourselves. This isn’t how a responsible airline treats its passengers, especially when the issue stems from their own operations.
I wasn’t the only one affected. A friend of mine missed his Antalya flight, and there were also international travelers—tourists heading to Vienna and other destinations—who were left stranded and confused in a foreign country. Watching them struggle to communicate made the whole experience even more upsetting and embarrassing as a host citizen.
Pegasus refused to take any responsibility, stating that the connection was not with their airline—even though they failed to transport passengers on their own original flight.
I intend to pursue this matter through legal channels. However, no legal compensation can truly repair the level of inconvenience and stress we experienced. I demand a formal apology, a full refund, and compensation for the missed connection and related expenses. Pegasus must take full responsibility for their operational failure and lack of basic customer service.
