The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Turkish Airlines revealed the trend towards signing orders for the purchase of 600 commercial aircraft within two months, to be the largest deal in the history of civil aviation.
Ahmet Polat said on the sidelines of the General Assembly of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in Istanbul, the “company is in talks with Boeing and Airbus to buy 400 737 MAX and A320neo aircraft, in addition to 200 Boeing 787, 777, and Airbus A350 aircraft.”
This will allow Turkish Airlines to increase its fleet to more than 800 aircraft in ten years from 435 aircraft currently.
