Turkish Airlines has announced a major expansion with an order for up to 225 Boeing aircraft. This includes 50 firm orders for Boeing 787 Dreamliners, potential additional orders, and 100 Boeing 737 MAX jets. The move aims to enhance global operations and reinforce Istanbul’s status as a key aviation hub.
Lufthansa has received its first Boeing 787-9 featuring the new Allegris cabin interiors, a significant development in the airline’s long-haul fleet modernization. Initially limited to European routes due to pending business-class seat certification, this aircraft marks a strategic enhancement, particularly for long-haul transatlantic flights once approvals are secured. Despite certification challenges, Lufthansa is focused on bringing the new seats into full operation by year-end.
