Turkish Airlines (Istanbul) has signed a contract for up to 117 A320 Family aircraft (25 A321ceo, 4 A320neo, 53 A321neo and options for 35 additional A321neo aircraft). This order is the largest ever placed by a Turkish carrier. The engine selection will be made at a later date.
Turkish Airlines already operates 75 A320 Family aircraft. The new order will help Turkish Airlines expand their short to medium-haul routes from their Istanbul hub, while the aircraftโs commonality with their existing Airbus fleet will generate additional cost-savings.
On the financial side, the airline’s net profit expanded to $625 million for 2012.
