  "account": "Turkish Airlines has placed a major new order with Boeing, committing to purchase 150 aircraft - 100 of which are firm orders for the Boeing 737 MAX jets. The airline also has an option to buy an additional 50 planes. This significant deal was announced as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was in New York, following his meeting with US President Donald Trump. The meeting took place alongside other Middle Eastern leaders during the UN General Assembly. Trump hailed the deal as a \"big day for Boeing and American manufacturing\" on his Truth Social platform, highlighting the potential for tens of billions of dollars in sales and the creation of tens of thousands of American jobs. This order comes almost exactly a year after Turkish Airlines committed to buying 225 more Boeing jets during talks at the White House between Erdogan and Trump. The airline, based at Istanbul Airport, currently operates a fleet of 514 aircraft, serving over 130 countries and carrying 92.6 million passengers in 2025, according to its website.",
