Turkish Airlines receives its 15th A350-900

Istanbul : Turkish Airlines' fleet continues to grow as the carrier received its 15th Airbus A350-900. The widebody departed Toulouse on November 17 for the relatively short three-hour flight to Istanbul Airport, marking the 340th aircraft in the airline's fleet.

The aircraft is the carrier's 3rd A350 delivered in 2023. Turkish Airlines is still expecting another 25 A350-900s. This will see the airline's A350-900 fleet eventually grow to 40 airframes.

Turkish Airlines has a highly anticipated massive order in the works with Airbus for hundreds more airframes, as per reports. On November 13, reports said, Airbus had reached an agreement in principle for a "significant commercial aircraft order."

It may be mentioned here that the airline currently operates nearly 60 A330neos. On the Boeing side, the airline operates 35 777-300ERs.
