Turkish Airlines negotiating with Boeing over a 250-jet deal By Investing.com

Turkish Airlines is in discussions with Boeing (NYSE:) for the potential acquisition of roughly 250 jetliners, the company’s Chairman Ahmet Bolat said Tuesday, just months after striking a major deal with European jetmaker Airbus.

Bolat stated in an interview that discussions are currently focused on target pricing, commercial terms, and engine costs. The potential order could encompass 150-175 Boeing 737 Max narrowbody aircraft, with the remaining jets being the larger 787 Dreamliner model.

According to Bolat, the talks are in an early phase, with no firm timeline established for a final agreement. A successful deal with Boeing would follow their December commitment to purchase 230 Airbus planes.

In April, Bolat indicated the airline’s intention to acquire an additional 235 aircraft, encompassing both narrowbody and widebody models.
