Turkish Airlines said Wednesday it was to buy 150 jets from Boeing that would be scheduled for delivery between 2033 and 2037.

The Turkish national carrier said in a statement that it had "decided to purchase a total of 150 aircraft from Boeing" consisting of a firm order for 100 Boeing 737 MAX jets and an option for 50 more.

The move was announced as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was in New York a day after he met US President Donald Trump alongside Middle Eastern leaders on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

The announcement came almost exactly a year after the airline said it was buying another 225 Boeing jets following talks at the White House between Erdogan and Trump.

Based at Istanbul Airport, the carrier has a fleet of 514 aircraft and flies to over 130 countries, carrying 92.6 million passengers in 2025, according to figures on its website.
