BOC Aviation Limited recently made an announcement that it has delivered the final aircraft of a seven new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft transaction to Turkish Airlines, the national flag carrier airline of Turkey. The Aircraft will join the operator’s already existing fleet that provides scheduled services to 315 destinations in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, making Turkish Airlines the largest mainline carrier in the world by the number of passenger destinations. The delivered 737 MAX8 aircraft is powered by CFM LEAP-1B engines.
The Boeing 737 MAX is the fourth generation of the Boeing 737, a narrow-body airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA), a division of the American company Boeing. The 737 MAX is based on earlier 737 designs, with more efficient CFM International LEAP-1B engines, aerodynamic changes, including distinctive split-tip winglets, and airframe modifications.
“This delivery reflects the strong level of cooperation that we enjoy with Turkish Airlines, building on our 18-year relationship,” said Mr. Robert Martin, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, BOC Aviation. “We look forward to further developing our long and successful partnership with Turkish Airlines as we continue to provide our airline customers with more fuel-efficient and technologically advanced aircraft solutions,” he added.
