Boeing and Turkmenistan Airlines has announced the airline's plan to extend its long-haul operations by adding a fourth 777-200LR (Long Range) airplane to its fleet.
The commitment, valued at $346.9 million list price, will be reflected on Boeing's orders and deliveries website once it is finalised.
The Boeing 777-200LR has a maximum range of 15,843 kilometers (8,555 nmi) and is equipped with GE90-110B1L commercial jet engine.
"The 777 is the world's most successful twin-engine, long-haul airplane and the 777-200LR is the right airplane to help Turkmenistan Airlines grow its international operations in Europe, Asia and beyond," said Ihssane Mounir, senior vice president of commercial sales and marketing for The Boeing Company. "Turkmenistan Airlines and Boeing have been partners since 1992 and we are honored by their continued faith and confidence in Boeing airplanes."
The new 777-200LR will be the 32nd airplane purchased by Turkmenistan Airlines from Boeing.
