The deal comprises 35 787-9s, 15 787-10s and options for 25 787s. The aircraft are scheduled for delivery from 2029 to 2034. Turkish Airlines is also continuing negotiations with Rolls-Royce and GE Aerospace. Within the scope of the acquisition, negotiations were completed for 100 firm orders and 50 options for 737 MAX 8 and MAX 10 aircraft. Orders for the 737 MAXs will be placed subject to the conclusion of discussions with engine manufacturer CFM International. The 787 and 737 MAX orders will double Turkish Airlines' Boeing fleet.
