Without looking at the article just by the headline - I guess it will be almost evenly split between Boeing and Airbus. I don't think that Turkish Airlines are in great shape, especially with the new airport. Wild theory - the elections will be close and Erdogan wants to bribe US and EU into not looking too close into his very close win.


Currently, with tit-for-tat flight restrictions between Russia and EU/USA, Turkey is the travel hub between Europe and Russia. I wonder if this temporary (one hopes) volume is why they're thinking they're on a growth path.

Then again, after an early outflow of Russians, the volume of passengers must be lower now, especially those flying into the country...
