Boeing set to salvage delayed Turkish Airlines order: Report
The delayed order would expand Turkish Airlines’ Boeing fleet and depends on a maintenance agreement with CFM International, sources said.
- Boeing is nearing an agreement to finalize Turkish Airlines' purchase of 150 Boeing MAX jets after resolving an engine maintenance dispute that threatened to derail the high-profile deal.
- Disagreements with CFM International over maintenance costs and the airline's desire to open a 'Premier' plant for 737 MAX engines caused the deal to stall, according to industry sources.
- Announced last year after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met U.S. President Donald Trump, the purchase is part of a 225-aircraft package including 50 firm Boeing 787 orders and options for additional Dreamliners.
- The deal could be signed next week, potentially avoiding an embarrassing reversal of the initial White House announcement, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.
- Senior Vice President Finance Okan Bas noted the carrier continues to weigh further orders to manage its fleet of more than 400 aircraft while expanding its Istanbul hub.
