Turkey and Boeing undertake aerospace initiative
An aerospace initiative is underway between Boeing and Turkish Airlines.
The airline will purchase 40 787-9 Dreamliners, with the Boeing Turkey National Aerospace Initiative, designed to support the growth of the Turkish aerospace industry, in conjunction with the targets set by Turkey's Vision 2023. It will also strengthen Boeing's presence in the market.
"The 787 Dreamliner is the most technologically advanced airplane in the world," said M İlker Aycı, chairman of the board and the executive committee, Turkish Airlines.
"Our intent to purchase these Dreamliners is to meet the demand for wide-body airplanes at the third airport, further strengthen our fleet capacity on the 100th anniversary of the Republic and to enhance passenger satisfaction."
The initiative outlines a strategic framework that aligns Boeing investment and programs with the government, Turkish airlines, aerospace service companies and industry suppliers in the areas of research, engineering and skills development.
Boeing has maintained a longstanding and mutually beneficial relationship with Turkey since the 1940s. Boeing is a provider of commercial jetliners to Turkish airlines and a significant and trusted partner of the Turkish aerospace industry.
