Follow-On Order From Turkish Airlines For 10 Powerplants
Turkish Airlines (THY), the national carrier of Turkey, has
again selected the International Aero Engines AG V2500 SelectOne
engine to power its A320 family aircraft. IAE will deliver 10 firm
engines in 2013.

This follow-on order is valued at up to $200 million and will
power A321 aircraft.
"We have been very pleased with the exceptional relationship we
share with International Aero Engines, as well as the performance
of its V2500 engine," said Mr. Hamdi Topçu, Chairman of
Turkish Airlines. "It has helped us to maintain our reputation that
reinforces our image as a leader in one of the most demanding
aviation markets."
THY's fleet currently operates in Europe, the Middle East, North
Africa and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The
airline has been a V2500 operator since 2004 and this is the fourth
time they have selected IAE.
"We believe that THY has again expressed its satisfaction with
the V2500's performance through this follow-on agreement," said Ian
Aitken, president of IAE. "This is another example of how our focus
on our customer satisfaction, reliability, maintainability and
efficiency play a key role in IAE being a leader in the global
engine market."
IAE says the V2500 SelectOne build standard delivers an
additional one percent fuel burn advantage, along with a
corresponding reduction in CO2 emissions. It improves time-on-wing
by up to 20 percent, and will be compliant with the most stringent
CAEP/6 NOx standards. It entered service on schedule in October
2008.
