The flag carrier has finalized an agreement with Boeing for a total of 75 widebody 787-9 and 787-10 Dreamliners—50 firm orders and 25 options—to be delivered between 2029 and 2034. In parallel, negotiations continue with Rolls-Royce and GE Aerospace regarding the engine selection. The agreement also includes advanced talks on an additional 150 Boeing 737-8/10 MAX aircraft, of which 100 are firm and 50 optional, pending successful completion of negotiations with engine manufacturer CFM International.
Aligned with its 2033 Vision, Turkish Airlines aims to expand its fleet to over 800 aircraft by its centennial decade, with next-generation aircraft making up 90% of the fleet by 2033 and 100% by 2035.
Professor Dr. Ahmet Bolat, Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee of Turkish Airlines, emphasized:
“This is not merely a fleet expansion, but a reflection of our commitment to innovation and operational excellence. Adding the latest-generation Boeing aircraft will be pivotal in reaching our 2033 vision.”
Stephanie Pope, President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, added:
“We are proud that Turkish Airlines has once again chosen the 787 Dreamliner and 737 MAX to support its future growth. As a partner of Türkiye’s aviation sector for over 80 years, we look forward to contributing to its continued success.”
With more than 200 Boeing aircraft already in its fleet, Turkish Airlines will soon add the 787-10—the largest member of the Dreamliner familyoffering 25% fuel efficiency and enhanced capacity for both passengers and cargo. The 737 MAX aircraft, meanwhile, will deliver flexibility, efficiency, and expanded cargo capabilities on short- and medium-haul routes.
