Turkish Airlines signed a memorandum of understanding to receive at least 20 Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
“With Turkish Airlines serving more destinations than any other airline around the world, we will be delighted to rely on our new A350 XWB to further develop our major international routes from Turkey,” said M. İlker Aycı, chairman of the board and the executive committee, Turkish Airlines. “With this agreement, we have signed our goodwill to carry on and finalize the acquisition with Airbus. Our agreement is a significant step forward in enhancing our passengers’ flight experience and will play a key role in growing our business in the years to come. We believe the increased business volume for the local Turkish supplier industry by Airbus will be a great gain for the sector.”
The agreement was signed in Paris during Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s visit to France. Turkish Airlines is a long-standing Airbus partner and the latest A350 XWB is only one in a long line of Airbus aircraft programs to serve the country.
The A350 XWB features state-of-the-art technology and design, along with new fuel-efficient Rolls-Royce engines. The aircraft is expected to operate with a 25 percent reduction in fuel burn and emissions and dramatically lower maintenance costs. Traveler experience is also improved, with the Airspace cabin offering a spacious, comfortable atmosphere.
