Turkish-German airline SunExpress is set to more than double its fleet of planes over the next 10 years, having placed a new order for up to 90 737-MAX family aircraft from Boeing.
The order was made at the Dubai Airshow. This is the largest single order placed by the airline – which is co-owned by Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa.
SunExpress currently has a fleet of 66 aircraft – all of which are Boeing 737 planes.
SunExpress Chief Executive Max Kownatzki said: “We’re operating at almost 150% ASK compared to pre-pandemic levels. We can’t get enough capacity at the moment.”
