It’s Sunday again, so it must be time for some more airplane art.
In the failing light of a fall evening, we have a Turkish Airlines Boeing 777-300ER on final approach to Chicago O’Hare, completing the long trip from Istanbul.
Turkish Airlines operate a fleet of 33 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. They support the Turkish Airlines long-haul fleet, consisting of Airbus A330-200, Airbus A330-300, Boeing 777-300ER and Boeing 787-9, with the Airbus A350-900 to join in the future.
These aircraft connect Istanbul to long-haul (and sometimes short-haul) destinations, with the short to mid-haul fleet made up of both Airbus A320 family and Boeing 737 family aircraft.
This aircraft – TC-JJG is named “Yıldız”. The aircraft joined the Turkish Airlines fleet in November 2010 and it remains with the airline. Currently – it is parked due to obvious reasons.
More airplane art next week!
