Turkish Airlines finalizes order for 100 Boeing 737 MAX jets
- Turkish Airlines finalized an order for 100 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft yesterday in New York during the United Nations General Assembly, with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attending the signing.
- Engine maintenance terms with CFM International, the joint venture between Aerospace and Safran, previously stalled negotiations; Turkish Airlines threatened to switch to Airbus if talks failed, Reuters reported.
- Boeing confirmed the new MAX aircraft will support the carrier's network from Istanbul, providing passenger and cargo capacity on routes to the United States, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East; deliveries run from 2033 through 2037.
- This agreement represents Turkish Airlines' largest single-aisle order with Boeing, and the deal includes flexibility to substitute the larger MAX 10 for MAX 8 aircraft as operational requirements develop.
- The purchase completes negotiations that began in 2025, when Turkish Airlines announced plans for up to 150 MAX jets alongside a separate agreement covering 50 firm Boeing Dreamliners.
