Christian Scherer, Airbus Commercial Aircraft (CCO) and President of Airbus International, said: "The increase in the number of firm orders demonstrates the value that A350s represent for Turkish Airlines. We are proud of the A350's contribution to Turkish Airlines' growth ambitions, with its unrivalled economic advantages and efficiency, making it unique among the new generation of wide-body aircraft. The new orders also demonstrate the strong relationship between Airbus and Turkey, which has been an integral part of the Airbus ecosystem and supply chain for 20 years. The long-standing partnership between the Turkish aviation industry, Turkish Airlines and Airbus is expanding and strengthening with each new step."
