Turkish Airlines is busy bolstering its future fleet. After the announcement it was purchasing Airbus A320neo aircraft, the airline has gone to Boeing to further expand its fleet
The airline will be ordering 95 aircraft – 70 on a new order, 25 on options. The break down is a mixed group:
- 65 Boeing 737-8 MAX
- 10 Boeing 737-9 MAX
- 20 Boeing 737-800’s
Delivery of the aircraft will commence in 2016 and will continue to 2021.
