Turkish Airlines orders 150 Boeing 737 MAX jets in major new deal
Turkish Airlines said on Wednesday it was to buy 150 jets from Boeing that would be scheduled for delivery between 2033 and 2037.
Turkish Airlines has placed a substantial order with Boeing, committing to acquire 150 aircraft in a major new deal. The firm order includes 100 Boeing 737 MAX jets, accompanied by an option to purchase an additional 50. This significant investment was announced as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was in New York, following a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
Trump hailed it as a "big day for Boeing and American manufacturing," claiming it would result in billions of dollars in sales and support thousands of American jobs. This purchase is particularly noteworthy as it follows a similar deal made by the airline almost a year ago, where Turkish Airlines had agreed to buy 225 Boeing jets after discussions at the White House between Erdogan and Trump.
The airline operates from Istanbul Airport, boasting a fleet of 514 aircraft and serving over 130 countries, with 92.6 million passengers carried in 2025, according to its website.
