- Turkish Air Orders Five Boeing 777-300ERs
Boeing and Turkish Airlines have signed an order for five Boeing 777-300ERs valued at USD$1.36 billion at current list prices, Boeing said on Wednesday.
The purchases are part of a large-scale expansion plan by the partly-state owned flag carrier, which is buying up to 105 planes from Airbus and Boeing by 2023.
The Turkish carrier currently operates a fleet that includes 65 Boeing planes, but Boeing said this was the first time it had purchased new 777s directly from Boeing.
The airline, which has not yet issued a statement on the order, aims to carry 25 million passengers this year, up from 22.5 million last year.
Turkish Air's chief executive Temel Kotil said earlier this year the company planned to invest more than USD$6 billion by 2016, including new plane orders from Boeing and Airbus to expand its fleet.
The Turkish carrier's large-scale expansion comes as much of the industry cuts capacity and raises fares amid the global economic woes. | |
