Turkish Airlines Orders Up to 150 Boeing 737 MAX Aircraft

Turkish Airlines has finalized an agreement to purchase up to 150 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, marking its largest-ever order for single-aisle planes. The deal includes 100 firm orders and options for 50 more.

The agreement was made in the presence of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and follows years of negotiations that began in 2025. The airline will take delivery of Boeing 737-8 aircraft, with options to substitute them with the larger Boeing 737-10 model.

Turkish Airlines will use the new planes to strengthen its short- and medium-haul network, particularly on high-demand domestic and international routes. The Boeing 737 MAX offers range flexibility and reduces emissions by 20%, according to Boeing.
