Turkish Airlines has finalized an order for 20
Next-Generation 737 airplanes. The order includes 10 737-800s and
10 737-900ER (Extended Range) airplanes and is valued at $1.6
billion at current list prices. Turkish Airlines currently
operates a fleet of 66 Boeing airplanes, including 58
Next-Generation 737s.
The 737-900ER is the newest member of the 737
family, combining aerodynamic and other design changes to provide
more room for up to 215 passengers while retaining the high
performance that gives the Next-Generation 737 family world-class
flexibility and efficiency.
All of the new Turkish
Airlines' Next-Generation 737 airplanes will be fitted with the
latest 737 Boeing Sky Interior. Based on the cabin design of the
787 Dreamliner, the all-new Sky Interior features soft blue
overhead lighting, contemporary sculpted sidewalls and window
reveals that draw passengers' eyes to the airplane's windows,
giving passengers a greater connection to the flying experience.
The new design offers larger, pivoting overhead stowage bins that
add to the openness of the cabin. The bins give more passengers
room to store carry-on luggage near their own seats, adding both
extra convenience and extra legroom.
Based in Istanbul,
Turkish Airlines is one of the fastest growing and prosperous
airlines in the world. It carries approximately 25 million
passengers a year, with direct flights to 120 international and 37
domestic destinations. The airline was founded in 1933 with a
fleet of five airplanes that carried a total of 28 passengers. The
airline made its first domestic flight in 1933 and the first
international flight in 1947.
