Re: Turkish Aviation - 2024

And for A220 i think one of A319'neo or b737-7 max can do the same job and avoid complexities.

Re: Turkish Aviation - 2024

@TKFLYER thanks for update. Is there any chance of B787-10 and B787-8 ? In my opinion therr is a place for both of them for thin or trunck routes? If b788 does not make sense an alternatif would be 45BC and 230 EC on b789 and make it 275 seats. In my opinion some framed around 250 seats and range ma...

Re: Turkish Aviation - January 2024

It might be related to announcement in late November 2023. TK announced as 10 NB leased from DAE to be delivered in Q4 24- 2025. Same quantity and delivery date came strange to me.

An other note : any expectation about long waited Boeing order. Do you see a chance that TK takes UA 737- max 10?

The difference should be minimal (14980 vs 14500 km)
AFAIK, A359 has a range above 15000 KM and ULR version has more range, so it. Kight be doablw nonstop by a359 even.
