Turkish Airlines tees up record-breaking aircraft order

Turkish Airlines is on the cusp of the biggest aircraft order in history, according to Ahmed Bolat, the chairman of the board at the Middle Eastern flag carrier. A week out from presidential elections in the Middle Eastern country, Bolat said an order for up to 600 passenger jets could be placed in June, topping Air India’s early-2023 order for a record 470 aircraft from Airbus and Boeing. Bolat told journalists that the order would likely be for 400 narrowbody and 200 widebody aircraft. He was speaking during a May 11 press briefing about the carrier’s in-flight dining offerings. Bolat
