Turkish Airlines to order additional Airbus A350s
On 4 September 2023, Turkish Airlines announced, in a filing to the Istanbul Stock Exchange, that the airline is set to order additional Airbus A350s. In total, the deal will be for ten A350-900s, with delivery scheduled between 2025 and 2027.
Turkish Airlines is currently operating fourteen A350-900s, and has had twelve more on order. The airline also held five options on the A350 but it's unclear if these ten are (partially) conversions of these options into firm orders.
Earlier this year, Turkish Airlines announced it was planning to place a very large order for up to 600 aircraft, consisting of 200 widebodies and 400 narrowbodies. According to several news outlets, the airline is still working on these plans.
