Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus International, said,
“We are delighted that Turkish Airlines has decided to further enlarge its fleet with the purchase of 10 more A350-900 aircraft. With greater range capability, passenger capacity and comfort, the A350 is the perfect platform to connect Istanbul to the world. This repeat order demonstrates the confidence for our unique new generation aircraft that offers airlines unbeatable economics and efficiency. We are proud to keep expanding our long-lasting partnership with Turkish Airlines and Türkiye’s aviation sector overall.”
A growing order book
Turkish Airlines has been busy adding to its fleet order book, with the airline having the Airbus A350-900, Airbus A321neo and Boeing 787-9 Dreamlines awaiting construction and delivery, as the airline continues its expansion and operation.
Airbus itself is happy with the progress of the A350 project, with the manufacturer winning over 1,000 orders from leading carriers from around the globe as of July, with 38 deployments and 55 customers of the type – but will no doubt be happy with additional widebody orders to fill its books
We’ll see if there is more to come – there are still a few air shows and budgets to balance before the year ends.
