Correction: This video mistakenly included the airline's 10 A330-200 freighters in the numbers and average ages. Excluding these jets, the airline has just under 300 aircraft instead of over 300.
Turkish Airlines cabin crew is A+, I’ve never been dissatisfied. My first long haul flight was with Turkish and after receiving a hot towel, amenity kit with socks and slippers AND 2 free 23 kg checked baggage, I was under the impression every airline would do that in basic economy but no other any other airline flying US to Europe does that. Not to mention the food quality. Really good airline.👍
Turkish ordered 355 aircraft from airbus in the end of 2023. 250 A321 neo, 80 A350-900, 20 A350-1000, 5 A350F. By the way turkish owns 50 percent of Sun Express too.
Turkish Airlines has a beautiful livery on par with Hawaiian Airlines. The silver pattern in the middle adds a touch of elegance to what is basically another Eurowhite livery. I also remember the ad Turkish put out based on the five senses. A truly classy organization. 👏
silver pattern in the middle is a tulip, arguably the unofficial national flower of Turkey. Netherlands is famous for its tulip fields but the first tulip buds were brought from Turkey.
In addition, Turkish signed a lease agreement with BOC aviation for the delivery of 7 Boeing 737 Max8s. The aircraft will be delivered in May and June 2022.
I remember an article that TK was going to order the 747-8. It wasn't true, but would've been amazing if it was. They could've done a usual layout of business and economy on main deck with premium economy in the hump.
@@cameltoeharris6569 with Lufthansa having about 30 business class seats in the hump of their 747-8, I'd imagine you could put the same amount of PE seats. Virgin Atlantic had a mix of PE and economy in the hump of their 747s
the A220-300 could eat into the A320-200 Neo market . . . AIRBUS could pull the plug on the A320-200 Neo production line by 2026 . . . but continue with the A321-200 Neo & it's variants . . .
Possibly Turkish Airlines is too diverse and would be better sticking with A350s as its large widebody, 787s as its small widebody, and A320 NEO family (including A319 and A321) for its narrowbody. This would retain good freight capacity in its passenger fleet which has been a regular earnings feature of the airline. The 737s could be transferred to the subsidiary airlines as they tend to be more leisure passenger focused and the cargo handling advantages of the A320 family are not required.
Turkish is too big and uses cheap labor too much to be standardized. 787 and 350 fleets were purchased for specific destinations and they only fly there. Airbus narrowbodies are jack of all trades, while 737s are the breadwinners for both domestic routes and African ports with inferior infrastructure. Cargo is becoming more and more profitable, but managing and planning small quantities are simply not profitable for this magnitude of operation. So, they opt for big cargo. Even 777F series haul full to the brim.
They have diverse fleet in order to be able to get best prices from Airbus and Boeing. They have a very strong maintenance division, so diversity is not a technical issue for them. Also being a 6th freedom airline, there are strategic reasons to share orders between European and US manufacturers.
Hey Simple Flying, would it ever be possible to post the "Long Haul" videos as a podcast on Spotify too? I know you do a podcast but it would be great for when driving be able to listen to Long Haul!
Lots of different types aircraft😬 I don't understand why they continue to order so many different variants instead of aiming towards fleet commonality and harmonization by ordering a few, limited types of aircraft bit in big quantities. I'm not quite convinced that their way of proceeding is the right one...
It is the right way. If an airline only has 2 types and there is a problem, they risk to cease operations. Thats what happened to Go First. Turkish knows that diversity is key. And that’s also better for aviation enthusiasts to have many types.
I'm pretty sure I see a union jack on the tail. Livery also matches the RAF's vip flights. 146s were retired from service a month ago. pretty sure it's a UK government VIP aircraft. Check out BAe 146 CC2.
I think, there is a misstatement in the Airbus A330-200 fleet. Ten of these aircraft are A330-200F freighters. As you remove 8 Boeing 777F freighters, you should also remove these 10 Airbus A330-200Fs from the commercial fleet.
well, I think they should only buy Airbus jets, as they are European and also why do they call the Boeing 787 as " Dreamliner " does this jet make people go asleep, They should stick with Airbus. In fact are now making profits again.
Why thou? The 787 offers better economics than the a350 more especially on narrower long haul routes and is more flexible and versatile. Why should they give all that up just because they are European? Delta , American and united operate a huge n.o of Airbus jets so I don't get the fuss. lol
Turkish Airlines usually wait to order a new aircraft type. They prefer to take other airlines' feedback first. This was the case for their 787 and A350 orders.
They really wanted operate more cities in India applied many times for new slots however Indian aviation authority don’t allowed to Turkish airlines neither increase frequencies between Mumbai and Delhi or add new cities
@@ArasKC That's the same case for Emirates want to serve Berlin but because the bilateral agreement between Germany and UAE that allowed for Emirates to serve 4 destinations has been maxed out, Emirates can't fly to Berlin and Stuttgart as well.
Can't compete with SQ and QR. Especially Q Suite but also CC on SQ is def way better. Another Problem is their extremely bad safety record considered it wants to compete and play in the Champions League. I dont know any other Airline that size with a bad safety like TK does have.
Nowadays, turkish airlines is very safe. They had a rough past, but now they are extremely safe. I’ve never had a problem with them. Business class wise, their products on the A350 and 787 is good, and so is on the A321neo and A321. However, the hard product on the 777 and A330 has to improve there.
And to think, only 1.5 million Armenians had to be killed during the Armenian Genocide for Turkey to become a country and build this incredible airline. Blood well spilled...

Flew with them yesterday, best short/medium haul flight I've been on.
I didn't realise they were so big until I read that they were transferring their fleet to the new Istanbul airport in 2019. It took 45 HOURS!
Turkish ordered 355 aircraft from airbus in the end of 2023. 250 A321 neo, 80 A350-900, 20 A350-1000, 5 A350F.

Such a pleasure to travel with Turkish airlines, great service, food and comfort

TK has shown interest in the A220 and the E195.

How many premium economy seats you expect to out upstairs? It’s not the biggest area up there.

wow,.. more than 300 aircrafts... one of the best in the world..
Pls make singapore airlines and the new A350s thanks
Hopefully no more earthquakes.
Simply the best.
Turkish Airlines Fleet is very good👍
As of 2024 january 500th aircraft 🇹🇷🐺
I hope they will replace a330-200 with a330-800neo
Never going to happen. The 787 will be the replacement , they already operate it anyways . It's a no brainer
Do one for qantas!!
the A220-300 could eat into the A320-200 Neo market . . . AIRBUS could pull the plug on the A320-200 Neo production line by 2026 . . . but continue with the A321-200 Neo & it's variants . . .

How about doing Qantas or Air New Zealand? Smaller carriers but really interesting fleets, especially QF !!
Pls make Philippine Airlines thanks
What is turkish airlines' domestic fleet?
And what is the difference between turkish airlines and its subsidiary, anadolujet?
TK domestic fleet is A319, A320 and some special domestic configured A321.
Anadolujet no longer exists, now its its own separate Airlines named “AJet”
nice choice by going on a321s
Why Turkish Airlines doesn’t have Airbus A380…???

98 A321 of 309 total fleet = don't ask their profit$
what is that supposed to mean?

PLEASE KINDLY START FLYING FROM TURKEY TO ATQ , AMRITSAR , PUNJAB , INDIA DAILY.
They really wanted operate more cities in India applied many times for new slots however Indian aviation authority don’t allowed to Turkish airlines neither increase frequencies between Mumbai and Delhi or add new cities
Kindly reapply again asap because before air India was owed by government now air India is owned by tata and sons .

Firsy
Second
Dont.
They will go with Airbus...Boeing has bad quality. Almost as bad as the Russian planes.
Lets not get ahead off ourselves
What planes have bad quality? airbus has bad quality too
Just look what happend with Qatar Airways A350-1000 paint issue surface degradation
