American aircraft company, Boeing, announced on Monday that the price of the 15 additional airplanes ordered by the Turkish Airlines (THY) cost $1,6 billion.
The airlines, which had also ordered 50 737 MAXs, 25 Next-Generation 737s and 20 777-300ER (Extended Range) airplanes last year, announced last week that the delivery of the airplanes will be in 2020.
"Today's deal represents another sign of our continuous growth strategy, with the 737 MAX providing Turkish Airlines with increased flexibility across our ever expanding network," said Dr. Ahmet Bolat, chief investment and technology officer of the THY.
"Our strong partnership with Boeing has been a significant factor in Turkish Airlines' success and we look forward to taking delivery of these highly efficient airplanes," he added.
Turkish Airlines currently serves 254 cities in 106 countries around the world from its base at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport.
