Turkish Airlines orders another eight 737 aircraft
Turkish Airlines has exercised options for eight 737-800s aircraft worth an estimated $542 million at list prices, Boeing said Tuesday.
The options were part of an order placed by Turkish Airlines in 2004 for 15 of the 737 planes. The additional eight airplanes are scheduled for delivery in 2008.
“We are looking to open new markets in Europe and Central Asia. The Next-Generation 737s’ operational flexibility will play an integral part of that strategy,” said Dr. Temel Kotil, Turkish Airlines’ president and chief executive officer.
