Turkish Airlines is engaged in discussions with Boeing and Airbus for a potential order of up to 235 aircraft, as reported by Reuters. The announcement was made during an event in Istanbul, where Airbus and Rolls-Royce were also present.
Ahmet Bolat, chairman of Turkish Airlines’ board of directors, emphasised the airline’s balanced approach between Airbus and Boeing. The decision-making process will take into account Boeing’s ongoing challenges. Additionally, Rolls-Royce is exploring maintenance and overhaul options in Turkey.
Last year, Turkish Airlines placed its first mega order with Airbus, including 150 A321neos, 50 A350-900s, 15 A350-1000s, and 5 A350Fs. The airline aims to double its fleet to 800 aircraft by 2033, with growth milestones of 500 aircraft by 2025 and 600 by 2028.
Currently, Turkish Airlines operates a mix of Airbus A319, A320, A321, A330, A350, and Boeing 737 NG, 737 MAX, 777, and 787 aircraft.
