Boeing close to finalising major Turkish airlines order for 150 737 max jets
Boeing is nearing a deal with Turkish Airlines for 150 737 MAX jets, including 100 firm orders and 50 options. The agreement, part of a larger 225-aircraft package, was previously stalled due to engine negotiations. The deal could be signed during the UN General Assembly, supporting Turkish Airlines' goal of an 800-aircraft fleet by 2033.
