Turkish Airlines to expand direct network with ultra-long-range aircraft
Turkish Airlines plans to expand its direct flight network with the addition of ultra long-range aircraft starting from late 2027, says Murat Seker, chairman of the Board and Executive Committee.
Speaking about the carrier’s fleet strategy, Şeker said the carrier’s plan to order around 420 aircraft remains in progress.
“Configured versions of the Airbus A350-1000 designed for ultra long-haul operations will join our fleet,” he said.
Şeker noted that the new aircraft will allow the airline to operate non-stop flights of up to 17 hours.
