Turkish Airlines has signed a firm order for 10 Airbus A321-200ss and three A330-200F freighter aircraft. THY already has another 27 aircraft on order with Airbus from contracts placed in 2009 and 2010. The latest additions are part of the airline’s expansions plans.
“To achieve our ambitious expansion plans in a sustainable and profitable manner, we require a reliable and efficient fleet,” says Dr Temel Kotil, CEO of Turkish Airlines. “Our positive experience with our in-service A320 fleet and the outstanding flexibility and efficiency demonstrated by our A330-200F since it entered service last year made these repeat orders the logical choice for our growth.”
