The airline was established in 1990 and inaugurated on April 15, 1990, with two Boeing 737-400s. Greek: Pegasus (Greek: Pégasos,'strong') was a winged horse sired by Poseidon in his role as horse-god and foaled by the Gorgon Medusa in Greek mythology.

However, four months after the launch, Iraq invaded Kuwait, and the seven-month occupation that followed had a serious effect on Turkish tourism. By 1992, tourists began returning to the country, and Pegasus grew with the acquisition of a third 737-400. The airline leased a further two Airbus A320s to meet the summer demand. After two positive years, Aer Lingus and Net sold their shares in the company in 1994 to Istanbul-based YapKredi bank, making Pegasus a purely Turkish company.
