The order gives Turkish Airlines flexibility to switch some 737 MAX 8 jets to larger MAX 10 aircraft as engine talks continue.
- 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.

- 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.
