Pegasus Airlines (PC, Istanbul Sabiha Gökcen) has inaugurated a new full-service maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) centre at Istanbul Sabiha Gökcen, in line with plans outlined by chairman Mehmet Nane in late 2025. The facility comprises 18,000 square metres of enclosed space and a 25,000-square-metre apron, with two hangars configured to support line and base maintenance on up to five narrowbody aircraft simultaneously. The centre is approved for A320ceo/neo and B737NG-family aircraft.
A second phase, scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2026, will add another hangar, providing base maintenance capacity for five additional narrowbody aircraft. A third phase, planned to begin within four to five years, will expand that hangar to accommodate up to 10 narrowbody aircraft.

Fly Elite (Lagos) is in the process of securing a Nigerian air operator's certificate (AOC), and hopes to obtaint it by the end of 2026, chief executive David Adebiyi told ch-aviation. The company expects the certificate to bring greater operational control and independence.
“We began this process in late 2024 and have since developed and aligned manuals and documentation with Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) requirements. We're now in phase two of certification, entering the middle stage, with phases three, four, and five remaining before final approval,” Adebiyi said.
Fly Elite operates two company-owned aircraft, namely a Hawker 850XP and a Challenger 604 added in early February. Both jets, based at Lagos and also serving Abuja, are available for charter under the AOC of partner Mounthill Aviation Resources (MHH, Abuja).
“The decision to transition to our own AOC is driven by operational and commercial considerations. It allows stronger internal control and autonomy, enabling decisions that are not possible under an external AOC. It also boosts market credibility, avoiding the perception of operating as a sub-brand under another entity," Adebiyi explained.
Regarding the Challenger 604, Adebiyi highlighted that the jet's range and payload capacity open opportunities beyond West Africa to intercontinental markets. “Since joining our fleet, the aircraft has already completed international missions, including a trip to the Caribbean,” he added.
Looking ahead, Fly Elite plans to expand international charter operations and strengthen long-range jet services, while exploring the rotary-wing sector to complement fixed-wing offerings. The company aims to maintain a focused, well-managed fleet rather than pursuing excessive diversification.
