Turkish Airlines orders up to 225 Boeing aircraft
Turkish Airlines announced the purchase of 225 Boeing
aircraft, divided as follows:
·
Boeing 787-9 and 787-10 Dreamliner: 50 firm and 25 optional orders, with
deliveries between 2029 and 2034.
·
Boeing 737-8 and 737-10 MAX: 100 firm and 50 optional orders, pending
the conclusion of engine supply negotiations with CFM International.
Talks are also underway with Rolls-Royce and GE
Aerospace for engines, spare parts, and long-term maintenance services.
Strategic goals
The airline said the acquisitions support its plan to
transition the entire fleet to new-generation aircraft by 2035, targeting
greater operational efficiency and an average annual growth rate of about 6%.
Diplomatic confirmation
The deal was confirmed by U.S. Ambassador to Türkiye
Tom Barrack during President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s visit to the White House,
underlining the significance of the order in bilateral trade relations.
Broader context
Just last year, Turkish Airlines added four Boeing 777
freighters to its cargo fleet. Rival carrier Pegasus also placed an order for
200 Boeing aircraft in 2024, reflecting strong demand for fleet renewal across
Türkiye’s aviation sector.
