Turkish Airlines' 150 Boeing 737 Max deal could be signed next week

Boeing may finalize a deal for 150 737 Max aircraft with Turkish Airlines next week, according to Reuters. The deal, part of a larger 225-jet package, was delayed due to a dispute over engine maintenance. Turkish Airlines sought a long-term industrial arrangement for engine maintenance, and the agreement is now back on track. The airline is also considering additional aircraft orders for its expanding Istanbul hub.
