B777 Delivered To Turkish Airlines

First Of Its Type Purchased Directly From Boeing By Turkey's Flag Carrier

The First B777-300ER to be directly purchased from Boeing by Turkish Airlines was delivered Thursday. The airplane is the first of 12 777-300ERs Turkish Airlines has on order with Boeing from 2009.

"Turkish Airlines continues to grow as a global airline with the 777 helping us to expand into new markets in Asia and the Americas," said Hamdi Topcu, Chairman of Turkish Airlines. "The addition of new Boeing 777-300ERs exemplifies our commitment to delivering high quality service and comfort to our passengers, while enabling us to continue our profitable growth." 

The 777-300ER brings new twin-engine efficiency to the airline's long-haul fleet. The airplane is powered by General Electric GE90-115BLs, the world's largest and most powerful commercial jet engines.

"Turkish Airlines has demonstrated an exceptional commitment to set world-class standards for their operations," said Marlin Dailey, vice president of Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "The 777-300ER is a great choice for Turkish, as the 777's high efficiency, spacious cabin, and industry-leading reliability combine to help the airline provide a superior passenger experience." 

Boeing is scheduled to deliver four additional 777-300ERs to Turkish Airlines by the end of 2010.
