Turkish Airlines announced on Sept. 22 that it intends to buy 40 787-9 Dreamliner jets from Boeing.
According to a press release from the flag carrier, Chairman İlker Aycı said placing the order would help the airline meet the demand for wide-body aircraft at Istanbul's third airport, strengthen its fleet capacity and enhance passenger satisfaction.
"During the talks to finalize the order, we are strictly evaluating the $1 billion worth business volume for the local Turkish supplier industry," Aycı said.
Boeing Vice Chairman Ray Conner said the purchase of the planes would help Boeing reach its long-term target to expand its presence in Turkey.
"... We greatly value the new order and commitment that we announce together with Turkish Airlines and aim to move this successful cooperation further forward in the forthcoming periods," Conner said.
The talks are scheduled to be completed by 2023, the statement added.
