Pegasus Airlines has launched direct flights between Istanbul and Ljubljana from January 2026, adding Slovenia to its expanding European network with three weekly services.

Pegasus Innovation Lab, which leads Pegasus Airlines’ innovation-driven transformation, has entered into a strategic partnership with Overwatch AI as both a strategic investor and design partner.

The platform aimed at enabling pilots, cabin crews and operations teams to access critical information more quickly and support operational decision-making.

Based in Silicon Valley and focused on developing partnerships with the global technology ecosystem on behalf of Pegasus Airlines, Pegasus Innovation Lab is collaborating with Overwatch AI, a platform developed specifically for the needs of airline operations. The platform enables teams to quickly retrieve information through natural language to support operational decision-making across a range of topics, including technical issues, weather assessments and airport and airline requirements. Pegasus has also begun actively using the platform within its operations.

Developed specifically for the needs of airline operations, the platform developed by Overwatch AI – founded by former airline pilot Leo Kotil and technology entrepreneur Nikita Kaeshko – is currently used across 30,000 flight operations globally per month and supports increased operational efficiency.
