Türkiye – Turkish Airlines has announced a landmark fleet expansion agreement with Boeing, representing one of the largest single commitments in the carrier’s history as it pursues its 2033 vision of an 800-aircraft fleet.

• The agreement includes a firm order for 50 Boeing 787 Dreamliners (35 787-9s and 15 787-10s), plus options for an additional 25 Dreamliners, marking Turkish Airlines’ largest-ever Boeing widebody purchase. Deliveries are scheduled between 2029 and 2034.

• Turkish Airlines also announced its intent to purchase up to 150 Boeing 737-8 and 737-10 MAX aircraft (100 firm, 50 options), pending final engine supply agreements with CFM International. Once concluded, this will represent the airline’s largest Boeing single-aisle order.

• Parallel discussions are underway with Rolls-Royce and GE Aerospace regarding engines, spares, and long-term maintenance services for the Dreamliner fleet.

• The combined Dreamliner and 737 MAX commitments would double Turkish Airlines’ Boeing fleet, which already numbers over 200 jets including 787-9s, 777s, 737 MAX, Next-Generation 737s, and 777 Freighters.

Statements

• “This landmark agreement represents much more than fleet growth. It is a reflection of our leadership in the industry as well as our dedication to innovation and operational excellence,” said Prof. Ahmet Bolat, Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee. “The addition of these advanced Boeing aircraft to our fleet will not only enhance our operational capabilities but also become a significant element supporting Turkish Airlines’ 2033 Vision of expanding our fleet to 800 aircraft.”
• “We are honored that Turkish Airlines has once again chosen the 787 Dreamliner and 737 MAX to power its future growth,” said Stephanie Pope, President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “As a proud partner to Türkiye and the Turkish aviation industry for 80 years, we look forward to continuing our support of Turkish Airlines as they expand operations and deliver exceptional experiences to their passengers.”
